ICON is seeking a Data Engineering Manager for a hybrid role in Oklahoma City, OK.

The manager will be instrumental in establishing structure, setting standards, and driving reliability in data pipelines. Strong technical credibility in data engineering, particularly with SQL and Python-based pipelines, is essential, along with direct people management experience.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead and manage a team of four data engineers, focusing on people development and team performance.
- Establish structure, set standards, and drive reliability in data engineering processes.
- Oversee the development, implementation, and support of application technologies, strategies, and timelines.
- Create high-performing teams and remove impediments in collaboration with agile coaches.
- Ensure effective staff management, including hiring, performance evaluation, and counseling.
- Collaborate with operational departments to understand business objectives and align application technology solutions.
- Manage, plan, and allocate resources for system and departmental platforms (e.g., EPIC, Microsoft, other clinical and non-clinical applications).
- Communicate project/initiative purposes and priorities to the team.
- Ensure regulatory and assurance compliance across the unit.
- Support the development and craftsmanship of Product Area Leads, Technical Leads, and Product Owners.
- Deliver state-of-the-art solutions that align with business processes and long-term objectives.
- Foster cross-cultural collaboration, leveraging diversity and effective communication.

- Minimum of 1 year of direct people management experience with engineers.
- Mandatory Healthcare industry experience (Hospitals, Clinics, Old age medical homes, Nursing homes). Pharmaceutical companies and Health Insurance companies are excluded.
- Demonstrated ability to lead and develop a technical team, not just manage projects or serve as a technical lead.
- Experience operating in ambiguity and building structure in an early-stage or evolving environment.
- Strong technical credibility in data engineering, including experience overseeing SQL-based data work.
- Working knowledge of Python in a data engineering or pipeline context.
- Experience with batch and API-driven data integrations and data movement between systems.
- Ability to evaluate technical designs, ask probing questions, and set standards for reliability, monitoring, and scalability.
- Experience supporting regulatory and compliance considerations within a healthcare or similar environment.
