Job role

Head of Enterprise Data Delivery
Hybrid | £85,000 + benefits | UK – choice of five office locations

We’re hiring a Head of Enterprise Data Delivery to take end‑to‑end ownership of our enterprise data estate, spanning Data Platform, Data Products, and Data Governance.

This is a hands‑on leadership role where you’ll build momentum, remove blockers, and ensure our teams consistently deliver trusted, production‑ready data assets that power reporting, analytics and decision‑making across the organisation.

What you’ll lead

You’ll head up a growing team of 6 across Data Engineering, Data Products and Data Governance. Your remit includes:

  • Owning delivery across the full enterprise data lifecycle
  • Establishing clear plans, milestones and delivery discipline
  • Driving urgency, progress and standards across teams
  • Providing credible technical leadership across engineering, modelling & governance
  • Ensuring our Azure‑based data platform, pipelines and data products are scalable, robust and well‑documented
  • Embedding governance, lineage, MDM and audit‑readiness into delivery
  • Partnering with BI, Innovation, IT & Transformation teams to enable data‑driven outcomes

About you

We’re looking for someone who thrives in pace, ambiguity, and complex environments. You’ll bring:

  • Experience leading multidisciplinary data teams
  • Strong foundations in modern cloud-native data engineering (Azure / Databricks ideal)
  • A delivery‑first mindset with a bias to action
  • Clear communication and the ability to make decisive calls
  • Comfort turning ambiguity into structure
  • Credibility as a technical peer to architects and engineers

Why join?

  • Lead an enterprise-wide data transformation
  • High trust, high ownership leadership role
  • Hybrid working with the flexibility to work from one of five UK offices
  • Competitive package around £85k, plus benefits

If you want to build high-performing teams, modernise data estates, and deliver real outcomes at pace, we’d love to speak with you.
