Role Overview
We are looking for a Project Delivery Lead to manage the day-to-day delivery of enterprise data and analytics projects for global organisations. This is a hands-on, client-facing, mid-senior delivery role ideal for experienced project managers who excel in structured delivery, stakeholder communication, and cross-functional coordination.
You will work directly with client managers and senior stakeholders, ensuring clarity, momentum, and outcomes across multi-workstream programmes. Internally, you will support and guide our consultants across analytics, data engineering, and architecture to ensure projects run smoothly and to a high standard.
This is a hands-on consulting delivery role, focused on project execution, coordination, and client communication, not an IT support or administrative PMO position. It is ideal for experienced project managers who enjoy structured delivery and client-facing work.

4. Governance, Reporting & Quality Assurance
* Maintain project governance structures including RAID logs, delivery KPIs, and documentation.
* Drive adherence to delivery standards and ISO 27001-aligned processes.

5. Scope, Change, and Commercial Awareness
* Track scope boundaries and identify change requirements early.
* Support development of change orders and updated delivery plans.
* Collaborate with commercial leads on proposals, SOWs and client roadmaps.
6. Delivery Planning, Resourcing & Forecasting
* Manage project schedules, resource allocations, and delivery forecasting across multi-workstream engagements.
* Coordinate internal consultants' workloads and ensure the right skills are aligned to the right project phases.
* Work with the commercial and operations teams to support capacity planning, budgeting, and forward-looking demand forecasts.
* Monitor utilisation and adjust plans proactively to keep delivery on track.
About you:
* 4–10 years in project delivery roles, ideally within consulting, technology, BI, data, or digital transformation environments.
* Experience managing complex, multi-workstream projects with enterprise clients.
* Familiarity with data, analytics, BI (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Alteryx) or data engineering projects is an advantage.
