At Range Group we believe in the power of the professional travel advisor. We represent over $4.5 billion in annual travel sales. All our investments stem from a common thesis, that travel advisors add real value to a trip. Travel advisors when equipped with technology and 24/7 support are irreplaceable. Equally important is our philanthropy. Range Foundation channels 10% of group profits to social impact. From exploration grants, improved access to education, new discoveries on sea and land, cultural infrastructure, and helping our global neighbors in times of need — we are investing to build a better future. The Role: As the Manager of Data & Platform Operations, you will lead and modernize Ensemble’s operational data, internal applications, and platform ecosystem.

Cloud & Infrastructure Manage cloud operations with both leadership direction and hands-on involvement (Azure, AWS), ensuring resilient infrastructure, identity/SSO integration, and secure connectivity across systems. Direct platform modernization efforts, including environment configuration, networking, cost optimization, scalability planning, and disaster recovery. AI, Automation & Process Improvement Identify and deploy AI-enabled solutions that streamline operational tasks, improve data quality, and enhance system performance. Expand the use of automation tools (Power Automate, scripting, AI-assisted workflow orchestration) to simplify integrations and reduce error rates. Establish monitoring, alerting, and automated remediation processes for data pipelines and internal systems. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Governance Collaborate with Finance, Marketing, Member Services, Supplier Relations, and Technology teams to translate business requirements into stable and scalable operational systems. Work closely with Engineering teams to ensure seamless connectivity between applications and consistent data flows.
