The Role

You will help shape and define future data initiatives by working across business and technical teams to understand requirements, opportunities, constraints and strategic objectives.

• Supporting programme leadership with the development of detailed initiatives for future funding and investment decisions
• Building strong relationships with senior business leaders, technical specialists and delivery teams
• Bringing clarity and structure to a complex and evolving programme landscape

What to bring

We’re particularly interested in speaking with professionals who have experience shaping data portfolios, developing programme roadmaps and creating investment-ready business cases.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Significant experience scoping and defining data and information management programmes
• Experience within major data, analytics, digital or technology-enabled business change programmes
• A proven track record of translating strategic objectives into prioritised initiatives and investment proposals
• Strong stakeholder engagement and facilitation skills, with confidence operating at both executive and technical levels
• Experience assessing business value, benefits, dependencies, risks and delivery readiness
• Background working within asset-intensive or large capital delivery environments would be highly advantageous
• Business Architect (Data)
• Senior Data or Digital Consultant

We’re committed to creating an inclusive and accessible recruitment process.
