Executive Director - Data Engineering (Network) & Buenos Aires Site Lead

The Executive Director, Data Engineering is the functional leader for network data within Global Network Services, directly leading a 25 person engineering organization focuses on Network Data. Data is the foundation layer of the platforms we build: automation, observability, analytics, and AI all depend on trustworthy, queryable network state. This leader owns the network data platform end to end, from sourcing and modelling through to the serving layer that engineering teams consume, and sets the strategy for how network data is governed, delivered, and continuously improved at scale.

In parallel, the Executive Director serves as the Argentina (Buenos Aires) Regional Lead for Infrastructure Platform Foundational Services (Network, Storage, DataCentre, Data Protection and Recovery). Accountable for site strategy, talent development, governance, executive presence, and operational alignment across the region. The role establishes Argentina as a strategic engineering hub by building and sustaining high-performing engineering teams aligned to global priorities and outcomes.

This leader partners closely with the automation platform, SRE, and Product Engineering teams, and with firm-wide data governance and data quality programmes, to ensure network data is well governed and fit for production use.

Key Responsibilities

Functional Responsibilities - Data Engineering

• Define and execute the network data strategy, covering data modelling, authoritative sources, distribution, and how data is made available to consuming platforms
• Build and operate the data platform: ingestion and streaming pipelines, transformation, storage and modelling, and performant serving APIs and self-service access for engineering teams
• Establish consistent data models and identity standards for network entities (device, circuit, site, interface) so data can be reliably joined and reused across systems
• Drive data quality as an engineering discipline: validation, automated testing, monitoring, and measurable quality targets across the data lifecycle
• stablish data contracts and data SLOs covering freshness, completeness, accuracy, and availability, with clear ownership, versioning, and schema-evolution standards
• Implement lineage and observability across data pipelines so issues can be traced to source and change impact can be assessed ahead of time
• Partner with firm-wide data governance and data quality programmes to meet audit, risk, and regulatory obligations
• Make network data AI-ready: structured, well-described, and accessible so agentic and LLM-driven capabilities can reason over accurate state, and apply AI within the data lifecycle itself
• Establish engineering standards, testing frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines so data pipelines and services are production-grade, secure-by-design, and observable
• Deliver measurable outcomes: data SLO attainment, improved data quality metrics, faster access to network data, and demonstrable downstream gains in automation, reliability, and analytics
  
  Regional Responsibilities - Argentina IP Foundational Services Site Lead
• Represent the Argentina hub in global Infrastructure Platforms Foundational Services forums.
• Drive site culture, retention, and consistent engineering standards across functional silos
• Ensure effective cross-functional collaboration with security, infrastructure, application teams, service management, and business partners to deliver integrated outcomes
• Manage regional resource planning and budget inputs: capacity forecasting, skills coverage, on-call sustainability, and investment recommendations tied to measurable service improvements
• Hire, develop, and retain engineering talent across the Argentina footprint
• Ensure governance, risk, and audit compliance for in-country operations
  
  Leadership Expectations
• Strong ownership of data platform and data quality outcomes
• Ability to build and scale engineering teams as a manager-of-managers across functional and matrixed reporting lines
• Drives a product-led approach to data, with clear ownership, published standards, and consumers treated as customers
• Strong executive communication skills, including the ability to make the business case for foundational data investment
• Maintains compliance and control discipline
