Team overview:

Our vision is to enable Sky’s growth ambitions though Data and AI: deepening customer relationships, optimising commercial performance, and enhancing operational efficiency.

Our Senior Scrum Masters within Data Engineering work within Sub Domains and are responsible for the overall Agility of the Squad/s they support as well as supporting the delivery of our high-profile work.

We have an exciting opportunity within our Cross Product Domain and supporting our NBA squad and our Marketing squad, this working within a value stream as well as out-with. Working in high profile areas and supporting updates as part of wider E2E deliverables.

Our Cross Product Domain is part of the EEC Directorate within Sky Data. It’s where we build and maintain data products and data assets within our Sales Platform – specifically Next Best Actions which is our personalised product and offer recommendations. We work within the Value Streams, as part of cross-functional teams driving exciting roadmaps; we also support broader work where we help to transform how things get done. That means we’re at the heart of the action, supporting and working on the products that keep our customers connected and protected, and which directly drive their Sky experience.  In addition, you will support the Marketing Squad which has a significant roadmap but drives huge benefit across our stakeholders in Marketing, Sales & retention.

Whether they’re introducing new capabilities, reporting on performance, or using data and AI to improve how our business is set up behind the scenes, one thing’s for sure – these are both winning teams that collaborate across Sky to make a genuine difference.
