Job Requisition ID: 41199 

Director, Performance Improvement Technology & Analytics

• Lead the technology and analytics capability within Deloitte’s Performance Improvement team


• Shape and scale client-facing digital platforms, Databricks-enabled analytics assets and AI-enabled delivery methods


• Build and mentor a high-performing engineering and analytics team working on complex transformation programs

Join a growing, entrepreneurial team at the intersection of performance improvement, technology, analytics, cloud platforms and complex change. This Director-level role sits within Deloitte’s Performance Improvement team in Turnaround & Restructuring, part of the Strategy, Risk & Transactions business unit.

Our team works with public and private sector clients facing cost pressure, operational complexity, funding constraints, workforce challenges and major transformation agendas. We combine financial, operational, data and technology capabilities to help clients understand performance, identify opportunities and track delivery of measurable outcomes.

As our technology and analytics capability continues to grow, we are looking for a senior leader who can oversee the team, shape our product and platform strategy, and ensure our technology-enabled solutions are robust, scalable, secure and commercially relevant. This includes leading the evolution of our analytics delivery approach across modern data platforms such as Databricks, alongside client-facing applications, dashboards and AI-assisted workflows.

What will your typical day look like?

• Day to day, you’ll lead the Performance Improvement Technology & Analytics team, overseeing the design, development and delivery of client-facing platforms, Databricks-enabled analytics solutions and reusable accelerators.


• You’ll work closely with Partners, Directors, client teams, engineers, data specialists and business stakeholders to translate complex performance improvement problems into practical technology and analytics solutions. This may include interactive dashboards, case management tools, benefits tracking platforms, cost and workforce analytics, data ingestion pipelines, Databricks notebooks and workflows, Delta tables, Unity Catalog-based data models, AI-assisted workflows and reusable delivery assets.


• You’ll provide technical and delivery leadership across the full lifecycle: solution design, architecture, data model design, engineering standards, delivery governance, platform quality, security, testing, deployment and ongoing support.


• You’ll also mentor junior developers and analysts, review technical approaches, uplift engineering practices and help the team adopt modern AI-assisted development and analytics workflows responsibly.


•  

This is a hands-on leadership role. You won’t be expected to code every day, but you will need enough technical depth to challenge design decisions, guide architecture, unblock teams, assess risks, and maintain credibility with engineers, data specialists and client stakeholders. You should be comfortable working across application architecture, data platform architecture and analytics delivery, including where Databricks should sit within an end-to-end client solution.

About the team

You’ll join Deloitte’s Performance Improvement team within Turnaround & Restructuring, part of the Strategy, Risk & Transactions business unit.

We are a highly specialised team focused on helping clients navigate complex performance, cost, operational and transformation challenges. Within this team, our Technology & Analytics capability brings together data analytics, data engineering, software development, platform engineering and AI-enabled delivery.

We build and maintain client-facing applications and analytics assets, using cloud-based technologies including Azure, React, Node.js, TypeScript and modern data platforms such as Databricks. Our solutions support interactive dashboards, performance insights, case management, benefits tracking, operational reporting, data pipelines and data-driven decision-making across complex client environments.

The team is collaborative, pragmatic and commercially focused. We value people who can bridge technology and business outcomes: leaders who can talk architecture with engineers, data models with analysts, delivery outcomes with Partners, and practical value with clients.

Enough about us, let’s talk about you.

You may have all or some of the following skills / experiences:

• Experience leading software engineering, analytics engineering, data platform, digital product or technology delivery teams


• Strong understanding of modern full-stack application development, cloud-based architecture and secure delivery practices


• Experience with data platforms and analytics workflows, ideally including Databricks, SQL, Delta Lake, notebooks, data pipelines or Unity Catalog


• Ability to translate complex business and performance improvement problems into practical technology, data and analytics solutions


• Experience working with senior stakeholders, including shaping requirements, managing expectations and communicating technical trade-offs clearly


• Ability to oversee delivery across solution design, engineering standards, testing, deployment, support and ongoing platform improvement


• Experience mentoring developers, analysts or data engineers and building capability within a growing team


• Commercial mindset, with the ability to identify opportunities to reuse, scale and productise technology and analytics assets across multiple client engagements


• Interest in AI-assisted engineering, data automation and responsible use of emerging technology
