About the Role

This role sits within the Global Technology, Digital, Data & AI function and will lead delivery of a portfolio of initiatives, with the data strategy programme as a primary focus. You'll be joining at a pivotal moment on the data programme, leading delivery across multiple concurrent initiatives in a maturing environment.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery planning and execution across data and technology programmes.
• Lead active workstreams, managing scope, sequencing, and dependencies across engineering, definitions, and reporting build phases.
• Track and actively manage critical-path dependencies across interconnected delivery streams, escalating blockers.
• Maintain working-level delivery artefacts (plans, RAID logs, dependency maps).
• Undertake delivery ownership of other technology and tech-enabled initiatives within the broader portfolio.
• Act as the primary delivery-level point of contact for technology, engineering, BI, and customer/adoption workstream leads.
• Prepare and present delivery updates to senior stakeholders, including the COO and Technology Director.
• Coordinate with external delivery and connector partners.
• Surface and frame governance or compliance risks as risk-mitigation conversations.
• Support structured discovery and options-assessment work for platform or data model decisions.
• Produce and maintain milestone, RAID, and dependency reporting for working teams.
• Translate delivery status into concise, decision-oriented materials for portfolio and executive reporting.

Requirements

• Proven track record as a Senior Project/Programme Manager delivering technology transformation programmes.
• Experience managing a portfolio of varied initiatives concurrently.
• Experience working in or alongside technology/IT functions, with enough fluency to manage delivery across engineering, data, and business stakeholder groups.

Skills

• Strong end-to-end project/programme management skills: planning, RAID management, dependency mapping, and milestone tracking across multiple concurrent initiatives.
• Ability to operate comfortably across multiple interdependent workstreams with shifting dependencies and incomplete upstream decisions.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to flex communication style between working-team detail and concise, decision-oriented executive narrative.
• Skilled in setting up or operating within formal governance structures (steering committees, design authorities, change boards) - papers, agendas, and decision/action tracking.
• Able to hold a line on governance or compliance process under delivery pressure, framing it constructively rather than as obstruction.
• Strong written and verbal communication, including confidence presenting to C-suite or senior sponsor audiences.
• Working knowledge of data platform concepts (e.g. medallion architecture, data lakes/warehouses) sufficient to manage delivery without requiring deep technical translation.
• Familiarity with MDM, data governance, or master data ownership concepts.
• Experience managing delivery alongside external consultancies or agencies during transition/handover phases.

Work Type

• Fixed-term contract

Experience Level

• Senior Project/Programme Manager

Education Level

• Formal project management qualification (e.g. PRINCE2, MSP, PMP, AgilePM) desirable.
