London (Hybrid – 3DPW)

Up to £110,000 + bonus

VIQU have partnered with a leading organisation who are looking to recruit a Data Transformation Manager to lead a significant programme of change across their data estate.

The successful Data Transformation Manager will take responsibility for the delivery of strategic data initiatives, with a major focus on the rollout of a new Enterprise Data Platform and ensuring the organisation is able to realise genuine business value from its investment in data.

Working across Data, Technology and the wider business, this role requires someone who understands complex data environments but is equally strong in transformation delivery, stakeholder management and driving adoption across an enterprise organisation.

Key Responsibilities of the Data Transformation Manager

• Take ownership of the delivery of major data transformation initiatives across the organisation.
• Lead the implementation and business adoption of a new Enterprise Data Platform.
• Develop and manage the delivery plan for data transformation, ensuring priorities remain aligned with wider organisational objectives.
• Manage multiple workstreams across data, analytics and emerging AI capabilities.
• Coordinate technical teams, business stakeholders and third parties throughout the transformation lifecycle.
• Manage project plans, budgets, resources, risks, dependencies and delivery milestones.
• Ensure new data capabilities are successfully embedded across the business rather than simply delivered from a technical perspective.
• Define how the success and business impact of data initiatives will be measured, including adoption, efficiencies and commercial value.
• Work closely with senior stakeholders to communicate progress, resolve challenges and maintain alignment across transformation activity.
• Support improvements to the organisation’s wider approach to data governance, quality and management.

Key Requirements of the Data Transformation Manager

• Strong experience leading enterprise-scale data transformation programmes or complex data projects.
• Experience delivering the implementation or significant transformation of an enterprise data platform.
• Previous experience working within insurance and an understanding of how data is used across the insurance lifecycle would be highly advantageous.
• Strong understanding of data platforms, data architecture and modern data environments.
• Experience working with cloud-based data technologies, ideally within Azure and/or AWS environments.
• Good knowledge of data governance, data quality and data management principles.
• Proven experience managing complex transformation projects across multiple technical and business workstreams.
• Strong understanding of change management and the challenges involved in driving adoption of new technology and ways of working.
• Excellent senior stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences.
