DATA DELIVERY LEAD
ROLE DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
MTS is going through a period of significant change. In 2024, we started a company-wide Digital Transformation (“DX”) Programme, which will result in a fundamental change to our enterprise systems, data architecture and reporting capability.
As part of this transformation, MTS is establishing a modern data capability comprising three critical workstreams:
- Data Platform – Implementation of a scalable, secure cloud-based data platform to support operational, analytical and archival use cases.
- Data Migration – Migration of legacy ERP, retail, wholesale and logistics data into new enterprise systems and the data platform.
- Reporting & BI – Establishment of a centralised BI Hub to replace manual spreadsheet-based reporting with governed, automated, business-led analytics.
The Data Delivery Lead will sit at the centre of these three workstreams, ensuring they are delivered in a coordinated, controlled and business-aligned manner.
ROLE OVERVIEW:
Reporting to the Head of Data, the Data Delivery Lead will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery management of the three core data workstreams within the DX Programme:
- Data Platform
- Data Migration
- Reporting & BI
The role holder will ensure:
- Clear scope definition and governance across all data initiatives
- Alignment between ERP implementation phases and data deliverables
- Effective co-ordination between internal teams, implementation partners and business stakeholders
- Risks, dependencies and data quality issues are actively managed
- Delivery milestones to support Retail (June) and ‘FullDX’ phase timelines
This role is not primarily technical build-focused, but programme and delivery-focused, ensuring that the right architecture, controls and outputs are delivered at the right time.
Stakeholder engagement at all levels — from operational managers to CFO and Board — will be critical to success.

Latest Review/Update: March 2026
When David Bowie wrote ‘Changes’ for his underground hit of an album ‘Hunky Dory’ (it’s a joooooke) I’m sure he never expected that a borderline freakishly tall recruiter from Essex would bastardise it on an almost monthly basis when looking for change managers.
I’ve thought about stopping but I just can’t so I’m back looking for another Ch Ch Ch Ch Change Manager to join a client of mine in what may just be THE best change practice of any tech consultancy in the UK, nay, the world (yeah, I went there).
I’ve had the pleasure of working with this client for over 3 years and they are a perfect example of a company that walk the walk when it comes to change management. Their continued investment in the development of a dedicated change and learning adoption practice is testament to this as is the way that they’ve ensured change and training is always part of the agenda when speaking with prospective clients, driven in no small part by their incredible practice director.
If you find yourself in a constant battle to get leadership, stakeholders and sponsors to buy into the importance of change trust me, you’ll find none of that BS here.
My client specialises in supporting its customers with Digital Transformation and as such they do need change managers that have worked on transformation programmes where technology (ideally an ERP) has been the enabler.
They’re hiring at Senior level and are looking to pay a base salary of anywhere from £60-68,000 plus bonus and benefits.
There is plenty of flexibility to work remotely and this role is very much open to people wherever they’re based in the UK. You’ll need flexibility to travel nationally when needed although this business have the right approach to work life balance so you won’t be on a client site sitting on a teams call while everyone else is at home.
Whether you’re a change specialist working in industry and thinking about entering the sometimes weird and almost always wonderful world of consulting or a pro looking for a change then I would love to hear from you.
