About The Role

We’re looking for a Data and Systems Manager to build, develop and own the data infrastructure, reporting and systems that power Sisters & Seekers as we continue to grow.

This role is all about accuracy, automation, scalability and turning data into better business decisions.

You’ll champion data-led decision making, streamline manual processes through automation, and identify opportunities to use AI and technology to work smarter.

Key Responsibilities

Data and Reporting

• Build a full data and reporting suite from scratch, covering trading, marketing, product, stock, operations, customer and finance.
• Own one version of the truth: agree and document KPI definitions, data sources and calculation rules, and make sure every report uses them.
• Lead the Power BI implementation, including design, build, rollout, access controls and user training.
• Replace manual exports and spreadsheet reporting with automated, scheduled reporting.
• Put data quality checks and reconciliations in place so reported numbers tie back to source systems and the ledger.

Data warehouse and Architecture

• Design and build the business's data warehouse and the pipelines that feed it from Shopify, Peoplevox, Xero, Swap, paid media platforms and other sources.
• Move data feeds from manual CSV uploads to API-based automation.
• Set up data structures, naming and product, customer and channel hierarchies so they scale as the business adds channels and markets.
• Ensure all business data is secure, including access controls, user permissions, system credentials and backups.
• Own data governance, documentation, access rights and GDPR compliance for business data.

Systems Implementation

• Lead all system implementations across the business, from requirements gathering and supplier selection through to build, testing, go-live and adoption.
• Work with each department to understand their needs and make sure new systems meet them.
• Make sure every new system integrates with the data warehouse and does not create a new data silo.
• Maintain a systems map and roadmap, including contract renewal dates and costs.
• Manage relationships with system suppliers and implementation partners.

Business Partnering

• Business partner every department so they have the data they need, on time and accurate.
• Translate business questions into reporting and analysis, and help teams use the outputs to make decisions.
• Champion data-led decision making across the business, including training and self-serve reporting.

AI Development

• Lead AI development in the business when required, identifying where AI can automate work or improve decisions.
• Make sure AI tools use governed, accurate data and meet data protection requirements.

Team Development

• Manage, develop and set objectives for the team.
• Document all definitions, pipelines and processes.
• Train the team, so knowledge is not held by one person.

Skills & Experience

Essential

• At least 5 years in data, BI or business systems roles, including building a reporting function or data warehouse from the ground up.
• Experience in an ecommerce or DTC business.
• Advanced Power BI, including data modelling, DAX and Power Query, and managing a Power BI service rollout.
• Strong SQL and experience designing data warehouses on a cloud platform such as Azure, Snowflake or BigQuery.
• Experience building data pipelines and API integrations between business systems.
• Track record of leading system implementations end to end, including requirements, supplier selection, testing and go-live.
• Experience working with and presenting to senior, non-technical stakeholders.
• Good commercial understanding of how data drives trading decisions.

Desirable

• Working knowledge of Shopify, Peoplevox or similar WMS, Xero, and paid media platforms.
• Python for data work and automation.
• Experience using AI tools to automate reporting or analysis.
• Experience managing an analyst.
• Microsoft certification in Power BI or Azure data engineering.

Personal Attributes

• Someone who is comfortable starting with a blank page and little existing infrastructure.
• Willing to do the build work as well as set the direction.
• Accurate and disciplined about definitions, documentation and data quality.
• Clear communicator who can explain data and systems to non-technical colleagues.
• Able to manage competing requests from several departments and prioritise against business impact.
