Data cataloguing and data modelling
Data quality management
Data and system integration
Project planning, task tracking and progress reporting
Technical leadership within mixed-discipline teams combining subject matter experts and practitioners, project management and technical functions
Delivering change in a lightweight ITIL-type environment

You’ll be able to embrace a demanding workload, working to agreed high standards and responding to changing priorities effectively.

They’re heavily investing in great people across their IT and business change teams, so this is a great time to join. This is a challenging but rewarding role where you’ll really see the difference you make to people’s lives every day. They’re supportive, flexible and rightly proud of their work.
