Hybrid 

Permanent 

We’re looking for a Enablement Director – Data to join us at Flutter.

Flutter UK&I is evolving its technology foundations to support long-term growth, innovation, and operational excellence. At the heart of this evolution is Enablement 2.0 — reimagining core technology capabilities as long-lived product organisations that power our customer-facing tribes (Sports, Customer, Gaming) and provide critical services across the region and group. This role will be part of the Enablement SuperTribe leadership team.

As the Enablement Director – Data, reporting to the MD of Enablement, you will play a pivotal role in this transformation. You will lead a distributed team of 150–200 engineers and data specialists based across Europe, responsible for building and operating a world-class Data Platform. Your mission is to deliver trusted, scalable data infrastructure that serves as the single source of truth for Flutter UK&I — and the foundation from which our teams unlock AI and data-driven capabilities.
  

What you’ll do  

As a key member of the Enablement Leadership Team, you will provide the vision, strategy, and leadership for our core product enablement domains. This includes;

Develop and execute a comprehensive strategy for the Data Platform — establishing trusted, scalable, AI-ready foundations built on technologies including Databricks and Redshift.

Build and lead a distributed, multi-disciplinary team of 150–200 engineers and data specialists across European locations, designing, delivering, and operating internal data products with a focus on reliability, cost efficiency, and engineering productivity.

Partner with leaders across Product and Engineering in a "two-in-a-box" model to ensure your platform roadmaps align with business priorities.

Define the data architecture and governance model that makes Flutter’s data AI-ready — ensuring quality, accessibility, and the lineage needed to power machine learning and generative AI use cases safely and at scale.

Champion a "platform-as-a-product" approach, focused on delivering capabilities that are leveraged across the organisation.

Drive key technical and architectural decisions for the data landscape, with a clear eye on the architectural choices that enable AI and ML adoption downstream.

Own the budget, workforce planning, and supplier management for your domains.

Actively contribute to the Enablement Leadership Team, shaping the evolution of our strategy, operating model, and culture.
