📍 London | Hybrid (2 days per week) 💰 £72,000 - £80,000 📄 18-Month Fixed Term Contract (Potential to go perm)
This is an opportunity to join a leading UK charity at the beginning of a significant transformation programme. Reporting directly to the Director of Transformation, you'll take ownership of the organisation's data capability, helping move it from a fragmented landscape to one that's trusted, well-governed and genuinely drives better decision-making.
Rather than inheriting a mature function, you'll be building the foundations. The organisation is looking for someone who has been on this journey before; someone who can establish governance, improve data quality, shape data architecture and create the processes that enable data to become a strategic asset across the business. This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll have the autonomy to make a lasting impact.
