The Programme

The successful candidate will spearhead a business-critical, multi-year data platform modernisation programme. They will be responsible for leading a large, blended team of over 30 individuals from the client and multiple external vendors and consultancies.

Core Responsibilities

  • End-to-end ownership of the programme plan, budget, governance, and successful delivery.
  • Lead, coordinate, and provide clear direction to a complex, multi-vendor delivery team (30+ members).
  • Manage a complex stakeholder matrix, including reporting progress, risks, and issues to C-level executives.
  • Proactively identify and mitigate programme-level risks, particularly those inherent to complex data platform projects.
  • Act as the authoritative figure for the programme, ensuring all teams are aligned and working towards a common goal.

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • Experience: 10+ years managing large-scale, complex technical programmes.
  • Domain Expertise: Demonstrable, in-depth experience leading data-specific programmes (e.g., platform builds, data warehouse/lakehouse modernisation, large-scale migrations). This is essential.
  • Industry: Experience within the Insurance or Financial Services sector is strongly preferred.
  • Leadership: Exceptional leadership skills and presence. Must have the authority and credibility to lead a large, senior group of experts from different companies.
  • Technical Acumen: While not a hands-on role, they must be technically astute enough to understand the data landscape, challenge technical teams, and effectively manage project risks.

Benefits

  • Opportunity to shape cutting-edge data platforms that set the foundation for AI-driven insurance solutions.
  • Exposure to high-impact projects with leading clients in the insurance and financial services industry.
  • Collaborative, growth-oriented environment within a forward-thinking consultancy.
  • Competitive remuneration and professional development opportunities.

This role offers the chance to work at the forefront of technology, solving complex problems and delivering transformative solutions. If you are a seasoned programme/project manager with a passion for Agile and an interest in data-driven innovation, we encourage you to apply.
