Thank you!
The National Theatre is evolving its Data & Insights capability as part of an organisation-wide ambition to unlock the value of data across audience engagement, ticketing, fundraising, digital platforms, and operations.
We are in the early stages of establishing a modern, cloud-based Lakehouse platform using Microsoft Fabric. While initial foundations are in place, much of the data platform, modelling, and engineering standards are still to be built.
As Head of Data Engineering, you will play a critical role in shaping and delivering this vision. You will own the design and build of the organisation’s data platform, establishing scalable pipelines, defining data models, and creating the standards that will underpin analytics and future AI use cases.
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys shaping and developing data platforms, combining practical decision-making with a focus on building strong and scalable foundations.
The successful candidates will have the following:
- Extensive experience in data engineering, with a strong track record of building and scaling data platforms in low-maturity environments
- Extensive expertise in data modelling for analytics, including dimensional modelling and semantic layer design
- Extensive experience with Microsoft Fabric and/or Azure data services
- Extensive experience working closely with BI tools, particularly Power BI, and enabling semantic models
- Comfortable operating in a developing data environment, able to work effectively with evolving data and varying levels of data maturity while helping shape more robust, scalable solutions
If that sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you!
The closing date for the receipt of a completed application is Friday 17th April 2026 at 12 noon.
