Data Lead Opportunity
We are looking for an experienced Data Lead to take ownership of the data workstream within a business transformation programme.
This is a hands on SME requirement, you will be taking the data workstream forward day-to-day, so we are looking for someone who is comfortable working independently, getting into the detail and rolling up their sleeves to deliver, not just defining the strategy and handing it over to someone else.
If you can meet the specification below and can demonstrate experience within ERP, manufacturing, hire or service based environments, as well as being within reasonable commuting distance of Greater Manchester for 2–3 days onsite each week, this could be your next challenge.
