Head of Data Engineering – Microsoft Fabric | Contract | Outside IR35

I’m working with a growing technology consultancy that is looking for a Head of Data Engineering to lead a Microsoft Fabric-focused data engineering function on an initial 6-month rolling contract.

This is a hands-on leadership role rather than a purely strategic position. You’ll be responsible for setting the technical direction, helping shape the data engineering capability and working closely with senior stakeholders and delivery teams.

The essentials:

• Strong Microsoft Fabric experience
• Proven background leading Data Engineering teams/functions
• Strong Azure / Microsoft data ecosystem knowledge
• Comfortable defining architecture, engineering standards and best practice
• Experience working with senior stakeholders and clients
• Able to get into the detail when required rather than operating purely at management level

Contract details:

• £600–£650 per day
• Outside IR35
• 6-month rolling contract
• 2 days per week in London
• Immediate / short-term availability preferred

If you’re a senior Data Engineering leader with strong Microsoft Fabric experience and you're open to a contract opportunity, I’d be interested in having a conversation.
