About Us

Forge Holiday Group is a leading UK holiday lettings business, connecting millions of customers with great holiday experiences. With award-winning brands like Sykes Holiday Cottages and Forest Holidays, we’re 1,700+ people strong and powered by four values: One Business One Team, Keep it Simple, Grow & Learn, Sustainable Impact.

Data is already central to how we operate - and we’re now investing to take it further.

We’re building a modern, AI-ready data platform to create a single, trusted view of our business - powering insight, decision-making, and over 300 AI agents already in use.

The Role

This is a builder’s role - not maintenance.

As Director of Data, you will define and deliver our end-to-end data strategy, platform, and capability.

You will:

Architect and scale a modern data platform (data vault, knowledge graph, insight layer)
Enable AI, analytics, and product innovation through trusted data
Build and lead high-performing data teams
Build the Future of Data at Scale -Define the strategy, infrastructure, and operating model that will power data across multiple brands and markets.
Drive a true data-first culture across the organisation
Drive Real Commercial Impact - Every initiative will connect directly to revenue growth, customer experience, and owner success.
Join a Strong Technology Leadership Team - Work alongside senior leaders driving product, platform, and AI transformation across the group

Why Now?

We’re moving from fragmented data to a single version of the truth - trusted, accessible, and compounding in value over time

Strong foundations are already in place - now we need the right leader to accelerate and deliver.

Our Approach: Grow and Learn

One of our core values is Grow and Learn.

We’ve applied that directly to this search - listening, refining, and evolving the role based on what we’ve learned.

We welcome both new applicants and those who have previously applied.

What You’ll Bring

Essential:

Experience delivering large-scale data platform transformations
Deep expertise in modern data architecture (data vault, lakehouse, semantic layers)
Cloud data platform experience (Microsoft Fabric highly advantageous)
Experience supporting AI/ML or agent-based systems
Proven leadership and stakeholder management capability

Desirable:

Experience in travel, e-commerce, or marketplace businesses
Knowledge of knowledge graphs and data democratisation
Strong commercial acumen

Why Join Us

A transformational, CEO-sponsored programme
A business already leveraging AI at scale
The opportunity to build a platform and team from strong foundations
A culture that lives its values - including Grow and Learn

Forge Holiday Group Benefits:

Annual STIP Company-wide Bonus Scheme offering up to an additional 30% of your salary through our performance-based bonus program

We’re all about diversity, inclusion, and bringing your authentic self to work. Need adjustments for the recruitment process? Just ask.

Apply

We’re doing things slightly differently.

Alongside your CV, as part of your application, we will ask you to record a short video (2–3 minutes) explaining:

Why are you the right person to lead this transformation?

Following your application, we will send you a link to record your video

If you’ve applied before - we’d love to hear from you again if you believe you meet this brief and we’ve missed a trick
