The Opportunity
We are currently supporting a major organisation with the appointment of an FM Data Transformation Lead to take ownership of a significant Facilities Management data and reporting transformation programme.
The successful candidate will lead the transformation from the current state assessment and validation stage through to implementation, adoption, and handover into Business as Usual.
The objective is to establish a trusted, governed, and sustainable FM data and reporting capability, bringing together existing reporting, KPIs, and data sources into a consistent framework that enables reliable performance reporting and better decision-making.
This is a role for someone who can operate between FM operations, data, BI, and programme delivery. You will need to understand how to turn complex operational requirements into practical data and reporting solutions, while having the confidence to challenge existing processes and establish consistent standards.

- Develop and maintain the programme plan, including milestones, dependencies, risks, decisions, and deliverables.
- Review and validate existing work and determine what can be retained, developed, or replaced.
- Coordinate delivery across multiple FM functions and stakeholder groups.
- Provide regular progress reporting to FM leadership.
- Identify and escalate risks, issues, and decisions requiring senior intervention.
- Maintain clear programme documentation and evidence of delivery.
