Job description

The Institute of Physics (IOP) exists to help physics and the people behind it realise their potential for our lives, our society and our planet.

Working alongside our members and leaders from across the physics community and beyond, we’ve identified three priorities that will shape our work over the next five years: Skills, Science and Society. These priorities sit at the heart of everything we do.

We’re currently looking for a Data Manager on a fixed term basis for 12 months, to help us deliver our mission.

What’s it like working at the IOP?

The Role

What will I be doing? 

The role oversees: 

  • Creation and management of Data governance frameworks

  • Delivery and optimisation of the outsourced data warehouse, including Snowflake architecture and Azure hosting
  • Implementation of data ingestion pipelines with a data warehouse partner using tools such Fivetran and transformation workflows using Medallion and Kimball principles
  • Establishment of the organisation‑wide data governance model, including catalogues, lineage, role‑based access controls and quality metrics
  • Supporting directorates with reporting needs using Power BI and improving data consistency
  • Through the use of training partners; upskilling staff and embedding a sustainable data‑driven culture through training and champions

Who will I work with? 

  • The outsourced data warehouse supplier team (data engineers, architects, analysts) 
  • Internal stakeholders across all five IOP Directorates to support consistent data governance and quality
  • IT colleagues including the IT Manager, Infrastructure Engineer, Salesforce Product Manager, AV Technician, and Application Change & Risk Manager
  • Project Managers and governance leads to ensure alignment with strategic objectives, compliance, and risk standards

Ideally, we hope you’ll apply if your skills include: 

Essential Criteria 

  • Strong understanding of data warehousing, ETL/ELT processes, data modelling (Kimball), and Medallion architecture 
  • Demonstrable experience managing vendors delivering hosted or managed data warehouse solutions
  • Ability to establish and maintain robust governance frameworks, data catalogues and security models
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work with non‑technical stakeholders
  • Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills

 Nice to have

  • Familiarity with GDPR and data security standards
  • Certification in Data Governance (e.g., DAMA) or evidence of continued professional development
  • Experience embedding culture change or delivering organisation‑wide training 
  • Understanding of IOP’s mission and the importance of physics for public benefit 

At the IOP, we know that great candidates don’t always tick every box. If your experience looks a little different, but you bring enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to learn, we’d love to hear from you.

How to apply

Alongside your CV, please include a cover letter explaining how you meet the person specification.

How will I be working?

We operate a flexible, trust‑based working model that gives colleagues autonomy over how, when and where they work, while recognising the value of in‑person collaboration. You will be assigned a base office, with hybrid working offered as standard.

You will engage in regular in‑person collaboration with your team (as operational appropriate), as well as with colleagues across the wider organisation, to ensure effective operational alignment and to support our inclusive approach to working.

As an organization we meet in person once a quarter at our Head Office in Kings Cross, London. 

Why join the IOP?

The IOP is the professional body and learned society for physics in the UK and Ireland. As a charity, we’re passionate about increasing public understanding of physics and supporting a diverse and inclusive physics community. 

We’re committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive culture for everyone. If you need any reasonable adjustments during the application or recruitment process, please let us know we’re always happy to help.

Please note whilst we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role, we warmly encourage applications from candidates who already have the right to work in the UK and Ireland.
