You’ll be stepping into a highly visible role where your ideas, structure, and leadership will directly influence how technology and data projects are delivered across the business.

About You: * Proven experience delivering multiple IT projects, ideally including data-focused initiatives. * Confident using PRINCE2, Agile (Scrum/Kanban), and modern delivery practices. * Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and exposure to DevOps tooling and principles. * A solid understanding of data environments—data platforms, pipelines, analytics, BI, or governance. * Excellent communicator who can influence, challenge, and bring people along on the journey. * Comfortable setting up new processes and ways of working—and improving them as you go. * Organised, proactive, and solutions-focused, even when juggling multiple priorities. What’s In It for You: * A rare opportunity to shape a project management capability from scratch. * High visibility and genuine influence across technology and data teams. * A collaborative, forward-thinking environment where ideas are welcomed. * Flexible hybrid working and strong support for your professional development.
