Head Of Enterprise Data

Employment Hero is on a mission to make employment easier and more valuable for everyone. Our Employment Operating System brings hiring, HR, payroll and benefits into an all-in-one solution.

Since our inception in 2014, we've scaled to a $2 billion valuation and gained a presence in 6 countries globally - Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, the UK and Canada. We now service over 350,000 businesses and more than 2.5 million employees.

At Employment Hero, we're proud of our unique DNA, which we call The EH Way.

  • We are Mission First - everything we do (from what we work on, to how we allocate capital and where we focus) is driven by our Mission
  • We are Remote First - we champion a remote environment with a preference for asynchronous communication and a high degree of autonomy
  • We are AI First - we are committed to using AI to accelerate our mission; AI is not just a tool, it's a fundamental part of how we operate, innovate, and scale
  • We are Apolitical - we do not take a position on political or social topics, unless it relates to our Mission
  • We Live by Our Values - we role model our values 100% of the time
  • We Expect High Performance - we set a high standard and we're not satisfied with being average

The Head Of Enterprise Data leads Employment Hero's global data function and delivers the data strategy that powers our AI-first future. You are accountable for building modern, reliable data foundations that unlock commercial value, improve operating efficiency, and accelerate decision-making across the business.

You set the direction, drive execution at pace, and ensure our data models, platforms, governance, and architecture directly support our growth goals. You will play a central leadership role and set the direction for a global team responsible for data engineering, data platforms, data governance, and enterprise data architecture.

This will include the below deliverables :

  • Ensure the business has access to trustworthy, high-quality data on demand - a stable, trusted and well-governed data environment, with consistent practices for quality, access, and stewardship, in the fastest possible timeframe.
  • Enable the business to make faster, more confident decisions as an organisation - a coherent enterprise data architecture, guiding how data is designed, integrated, and used across systems and products, resulting in near-realtime insights and the ability to surface leading indicators.
  • Build the necessary foundations for AI querying of our data - creating data foundations and models that effectively support AI and automation, and natural language querying, with safe and appropriate access patterns.
  • Responsibilities

  • Deliver a clear, actionable data strategy that supports revenue growth, scalability, and automation.
  • Establish standards for how EH designs, manages, and uses data; remove ambiguity and drive consistency.
  • Provide senior leadership on data-driven decision-making and the enterprise data posture.
  • Champion stewardship and ownership so every team knows their data responsibilities.
  • Global Data Platform Ownership

  • Own the performance, reliability, and evolution of our Snowflake-centric data platform.
  • Ensure ingestion, modelling, governance, and quality processes are simple, scalable, and fast.
  • Guarantee availability, observability, and readiness for AI and automation workloads.
  • Set patterns that enable teams to ship data solutions quickly without compromising trust.
  • Data Architecture

  • Define and maintain an enterprise architecture that supports both operational and analytical needs.
  • Partner with Engineering and Product to shape upstream data design that enables future AI use and minimises rework.
  • Ensure data models are reusable, trusted, and well-documented, reducing time to insight and integration complexity.
  • Data Governance, Quality and Compliance

  • Implement governance that is lightweight, scalable, and value-driven not bureaucratic.
  • Lift data quality and consistency across all regions and teams.
  • Ensure compliance with security, privacy, and regulatory frameworks while enabling speed and accessibility.
  • Embed practical stewardship so teams can confidently own their data.
  • Data for AI, ML and Agentic Workflows

  • Make Employment Hero's data AI-ready through quality, accessibility, and sound design.
  • Define how data powers agentic workflows, automation, and future ML capabilities.
  • Oversee infrastructure and governance that allow responsible and high-velocity AI usage.
  • Guide data requirements for training, inference, and orchestration.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Build strong partnerships with Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, RevOps, Finance, and CX.
  • Translate data concepts into practical actions that solve real business problems.
  • Increase adoption and trust in data through simplicity, transparency, and responsiveness.
  • To thrive at Employment Hero, you'll need to embody The EH Way - operating with focus, agility, and an obsession with impact. For this role, you'll also bring :

  • 8+ years in modern data leadership across platforms, architecture, governance, or analytics engineering.
  • Proven ability to deliver data strategies in fast-moving, high-growth environments.
  • Expertise in cloud-native stacks like Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, Airflow.
  • Deep understanding of data governance, modelling, metadata, and domain-driven design.
  • Experience enabling AI / ML teams with high-quality data and strong access patterns.
  • Ability to influence senior stakeholders and lead global teams with clarity and pace.
  • At Employment Hero, we don't just talk about a better way to work - we live it. Joining Employment Hero means :

  • You will work remotely, with the flexibility to own your time and impact
  • You will access cutting-edge tools to amplify your work, knowledge and outputs
  • You'll surround yourself with ambitious, outcome-driven colleagues who challenge you to do the best work of your life
  • You'll own ESOP (employee share options) in one of the world's fastest-growing tech companies
  • You'll also have access to a wide range of benefits that includes - a very generous parental leave policy, subsidised egg freezing (so you can make the choice that's right for you, on your terms), a WFH office expense budget, and outstanding learning & development opportunities
  • Employment Hero celebrates diverse perspectives and experiences, we invite people of all backgrounds and identities to apply for this position.
