Contract
Data Delivery Lead | Contract | Legacy Platform Decommissioning | London (Hybrid) | 595/day
A large, well-established UK organisation is decommissioning a significant legacy data estate as part of a wider platform transformation. They need a Data Delivery Lead to own this workstream end to end, managing delivery, suppliers, and stakeholders through to completion.
This isn’t a support role. You’ll be accountable for the delivery of a defined project with real budget behind it, working directly with data architects and reporting into a senior delivery lead. If you want a contract where you can point to a clean, ownable outcome on your CV, this is that role.
The Role
- Own end-to-end delivery of a legacy decommissioning project, using Agile methods within an established governance framework
- Manage a small cross-functional team across technology, business, and supplier resources, including offshore delivery teams
- Hold suppliers to account against contracted deliverables, timelines, and quality bar
- Manage project financials and resourcing against a multi-million-pound budget, escalating deviations early
- Facilitate stakeholder sign-off with data architects and release management
- Provide clear, senior-stakeholder-visible progress reporting and manage risk proactively
- Coordinate communications across a mixed technical and business stakeholder group
What We’re Looking For
- Proven Agile delivery experience, non-negotiable
- Hands-on use of Jira and Azure DevOps
- Strong stakeholder communication skills, comfortable operating with senior visibility
- Experience managing supplier and offshore delivery resources
- Cloud platform exposure (GCP, Azure, or AWS)
Nice to Have
- Exposure to AI-assisted or agentic SDLC tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot)
- A recognised delivery methodology background (Prince2, SAFe, Scrum of Scrums)
What’s On Offer
- 595 per day (Umbrella/Inside IR35)
- Initial contract with strong signals of extension
- Hybrid working, London based, genuinely outcome-driven rather than rigid on days in office
- Single-stage interview process, no lengthy multi-round loop
If you want a contract with real scope, a fast process, and an outcome you can genuinely own, get in touch.
