Head of Data

Salary: £43,000 - 43,000 per year

Requirements:

• Deep hands-on engineering skill: we need someone who writes code and builds pipelines themselves, not just directs others
• A track record in complex environments such as hybrid hardware/software companies, scaling fintechs, or similarly messy multi-system organisations
• Fluency in modern agentic and LLM workflows, with a clear view of what AI needs from a data layer to work reliably
• Commercial instincts: we want someone who frames work in terms of decisions enabled and cost managed, not rows processed
• Judgement about when to build robust architecture and when a scrappier pipeline is the right call today
• Experience connecting disparate systems such as ERP, HRIS, mobile telemetry, and operational trackers into clean, reliable outputs
• Comfort operating as a senior individual contributor, while also thriving as part of a larger team of peers
• Live within a 60-minute commute of our London office

Responsibilities:

• Map our highest-priority data use cases in the first 30-60 days by interviewing cross-functional leaders and diagnosing where data can move the needle fastest
• Refactor and connect ERP, HRIS, Android/app telemetry, and bespoke trackers into one coherent data layer
• Own the architecture end-to-end: write the code, make the tooling calls, and be accountable for what ships
• Own the cost efficiency of the data platform: track cloud and tooling spend, forecast COGS, and build with cost-per-user in mind from day one
• Group technical overlaps across use cases into a pragmatic build sequence, avoiding isolated hacks and over-engineered warehouses
• Build the data foundation clean and normalised enough to eventually power an internal company brain and agentic workflows
• Define what good data looks like at Nothing: standards, quality controls, and documentation that make it usable by others

Technologies:

• AI
• Android
• Cloud
• ERP
• Hardware
• LLM

We are Nothing, a London-founded technology company established in 2020 and built to make tech feel exciting again. We put design, emotion, and human creativity at the heart of everything we do, and we are growing from an idea into a global challenger backed by GV, EQT Ventures, C Ventures, and investors including Tony Fadell, Casey Neistat, and Kevin Lin. Our products are now sold in 40+ markets to millions of users worldwide. Our data function is being built from an existing but fragmented estate, and you will work directly with leaders across product, supply chain, commercial, and finance to turn scattered systems into a trusted data layer. This is a full-time, in-office role based in London, split between our Kings Cross and Farringdon offices, with five days a week on-site and a collaborative working style that values being together.
