This is a new leadership position within our data engineering practice. You will lead the Enablement team, a blended team spanning Dublin and Toronto, helping engineering teams across Citco get the most from our Centralized Data Platform (CDP) on Databricks.

What You'll Bring
- Deep Databricks expertise, with a strong architecture or solution design background
- Consulting or client-facing experience, with proven relationship management skills
- Strong consultative and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence without authority
- Experience managing teams across multiple locations
- Solid grounding in data modeling, SQL, Python/Spark, ETL/ELT patterns, and cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
- Hands-on experience using AI tools in the development process
- Excellent communication skills
Our Benefits:
Your well-being is of paramount importance to us, and central to our success. We provide a range of benefits, training and education support, and flexible working arrangements to help you achieve success in your career while balancing personal needs. Ask us about specific benefits in your location.
We embrace diversity, prioritizing the hiring of people from diverse backgrounds. Our inclusive culture is a source of pride and strength, fostering innovation and mutual respect.
Citco welcomes and encourages applications from people with disabilities. Accommodation is available upon request for candidates taking part in all aspects of the selection.
What You'll Do
- Lead and develop a cross-location team of data professionals across Dublin and Toronto
- Build strong relationships with business and technology stakeholders, understanding their needs and translating them into platform solutions
- Define solution designs, reference architectures, and standards on Databricks (Delta Lake, Lakehouse, Unity Catalog)
- Coach teams on platform adoption, governance, and pipeline optimization
- Champion AI-assisted development (e.g. GitHub Copilot) and help teams use it effectively
- Collaborate with the Dublin-based and North America data engineering teams
