• Drive greater consistency and predictability of outcomes in a complex data landscape
• Work closely with senior stakeholders — progress reviewed directly by Head of Delivery

What we're looking for:

• Proven experience operating at SFIA 6 / Senior Delivery Manager level
• Strong background in Data & Analytics, Data Platforms, BI or Data Transformation programmes
• Experience defining delivery strategy and maturing delivery functions / ecosystems
• Expert in portfolio-level planning, dependency management and governance
• Track record of improving delivery performance, frameworks and ways of working
• Confident engaging senior stakeholders and driving alignment across divisions
• Government / large-scale complex environment experience highly desirable

Contract Details:

• Rate: £500pd inc fees

• Location: Initially Newcastle, but after that anywhere but London — Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham etc all considered. 40% on-site each week + travel on average once per fortnight.
