Head of Enterprise Data Delivery

£80,000 per annum

Hybrid, with weekly presence in Milton Keynes or Boston

36.25 hours, Monday – Friday (9am – 5.15pm)

Permanent, Full-Time vacancy

Summary

This is a senior, hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives on delivery, momentum and outcomes. As Head of Enterprise Data Delivery, you will take end-to-end accountability for how enterprise data is engineered, governed and delivered — ensuring the organisation has trusted, usable data that genuinely enables insight and decision-making.

Snapshot of your role

You will lead delivery across Data Platform, Data Products and Data Governance, owning the journey from source systems through to certified reporting and analytics.

This role is about execution. You’ll set clear delivery plans, remove blockers, enforce standards and intervene directly when progress stalls. You’ll act as a senior technical peer to engineers, architects and governance specialists, challenging designs and ensuring solutions are pragmatic, scalable and production-ready.

You’ll drive the modernisation of legacy data assets, embed strong engineering practices, and ensure data products are clearly defined, governed and trusted. Alongside this, you’ll build a delivery-focused culture — one that values ownership, pace and visible progress — and give senior leaders confidence in what is being delivered and when.

Quote from Christopher Heappey

“This role is about getting things done. We need someone who can bring urgency and clarity to enterprise data delivery — making decisions, removing blockers and holding the line on quality. If you’re motivated by outcomes rather than theory, this is a role where you can make a real impact.”

Christopher Heappey - Director of Insight & Innovation
