The Senior Programme Manager Role

This is the opportunity to step into a highly visible leadership role at the centre of a flagship transformation.

As Delivery Lead, you’ll take end-to-end ownership of a multi-year analytics modernisation programme for a Tier-1 global financial services organisation. Reporting to the VP of Professional Services, you’ll guide the migration of enterprise reporting and analytics from legacy platforms (Tableau and Cognos) into the Qlik ecosystem - shaping how a global financial institution consumes and trusts its data.

You won’t just manage a programme. You’ll lead a transformation with executive sponsorship, senior stakeholder visibility, and real enterprise impact.

If you’re an experienced project or programme leader ready for bigger scope, broader influence, and a seat at the table - this is that step up.

What makes this role interesting?

• Lead a large-scale analytics migration spanning data ingestion, transformation, modelling, and BI platforms
• Own the full lifecycle — from mobilisation and planning through execution, testing, release, and transition into business-as-usual
• Shape programme governance, reporting, and delivery standards across multiple teams
• Partner directly with business and technology leaders to translate strategic ambitions into tangible outcomes
• Coordinate multi-disciplinary teams across consulting, engineering, architecture, and customer stakeholders
• Drive strong data quality, governance, and testing practices in a highly regulated financial services environment
• Champion adoption of modern analytics capabilities into operational environments

Here’s how you’ll be making an impact:

• Enable a shift from legacy reporting environments to a modern, scalable analytics ecosystem
• Bring clarity and structure to a multi-year transformation with multiple dependencies and stakeholders
• Identify risks early and keep delivery momentum strong, even in complex enterprise settings
• Ensure that data quality, governance, and testing are embedded — not an afterthought
• Create alignment between strategic objectives and delivery execution
• Build confidence at senior leadership level through clear communication and visible progress
• Your leadership will directly influence adoption, trust in data, and the long-term success of a high-profile analytics transformation

We’re looking for a teammate with:

• 6–9 years of project or programme delivery experience, with a strong track record delivering technology, data, or analytics initiatives
• Experience working within financial services (either directly within banks/financial institutions or delivering solutions to them via a vendor or consultancy)
• Comfort operating in large, complex enterprise environments with multiple stakeholders
• Familiarity with modern BI and analytics platforms (Qlik, Tableau, Cognos, or similar)
• Experience with Agile, hybrid, or structured delivery methodologies
• Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud (advantageous)
• The ability to coordinate cross-functional teams and manage competing priorities
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including experience engaging senior leaders
• A proactive mindset with strong organisational and problem-solving capability

The location for this role is:

United Kingdom: Winnersh, London or South East

Hybrid: #LI-Hybrid
