The Role
We are seeking an experienced Data Integration Manager to lead in the establishment of a Data Engineering and BI Development function here at Tameside. The role will be pivotal in our drive towards data-driven decision making and enhanced public services.
You will play a leading role in designing, building, and maintaining scalable data pipelines within Microsoft’s cutting-edge Fabric environment, integrating disparate datasets, and enabling cross-cut analytics and reporting for various local government functions via Power BI.
The job role covers the full range of data relevant to Local Government, from Social Care case management systems, geospatial information and publicly available datasets and more. It will also play an important part in developing our wider data strategy and maximising the investments being made across our digital infrastructure.
The role will take on the leadership of a newly established Data Integration Team as part of the council’s Business Intelligence Service, alongside our Systems and Analytics functions. Close links with our ICT and Information Governance teams will also be required.
This is an exciting opportunity to join Tameside Council at the start of its journey to adopting a modern data infrastructure.

About You
You will be an experienced Data professional, with experience of leading teams and projects in a Data Engineering or BI Development role.
If you’ve got thorough knowledge and experience of standardising and automating data flows and reports, building dashboards that turn complex data into actionable intelligence and using data-centric coding languages like SQL and/or Python and developing within a modern PAAS or SAAS Data Platform, that’s great. If you’ve done those things in a Local Government or Public Sector setting, even better.
You will have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and experience of designing, orchestrating and implementing complex data infrastructure projects. You will also need excellent organisational and people management skills, an ability to plan and deliver timely outcomes whilst dealing with multiple enquiries and tasks, excellent written and verbal communication skills, excellent numerical skills, an ability to conduct data and systems analysis and be capable of building relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders.
