Data Programme Manager
Data & Analytics Programme Manager (Contract) - £650 - £725 per day (Outside IR35)
A large, international energy organisation is seeking an experienced Data & Analytics Programme or Delivery Manager to shape and lead the next phase of its data transformation. This contract role is focused on resetting and future-proofing the Azure data estate, rather than delivering a large, fixed, global rollout.
The organisation is open to part-time engagement initially, with flexibility to increase commitment over time.
The Opportunity
This engagement is about building strong foundations, not scaling an already mature data platform. You will work with a newly formed data team to define direction, establish standards, and shape the future-state data and analytics landscape.
Key objectives include:
- Reworking the existing Azure data environment
- Consolidating data from multiple source systems into a coherent, governed platform
- Establishing global best practice, standards, and guardrails
- Defining and shaping the future-state data & analytics architecture
- Ensuring the platform is scalable, governed, and fit for long-term business needs
You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, helping define both the “what” and the “how”, rather than delivering against a rigid, pre-defined programme plan.
Role Scope & Engagement Model
- Programme / Delivery Manager orientation, with strong hands-on involvement
- Must have a deep data & analytics background, not a generic PM profile
- Previous experience reporting into a Chief Data Officer or equivalent
- Proven track record running data and analytics programmes or transformations
- Part-time initially (ideal to start) (2 days per week)
