We provide expert advice and hands‑on system management to help our national and global clients get the most from technology and data. We use innovation wisely to deliver well thought‑out digital solutions and software.

• You have excellent communication and stakeholder management skills and can effectively engage with colleagues at all levels across the organisation.
• You have a strong understanding of data products and the role that third‑party data plays in delivering commercial value.
• You can interpret contractual, financial and legal information and translate complex issues into practical business decisions.

Your Skills, Knowledge And Experience

• Previous experience managing third‑party suppliers, partnerships or vendor relationships.
• Experience working with data products, data suppliers or data licensing arrangements.
• Demonstrable commercial negotiation experience, including pricing, contract renewals and supplier agreements.
• Experience managing significant budgets and delivering against financial targets.
• Strong financial acumen, including forecasting, budget management and cost control.

• A self‑starter attitude with the ability to work independently and take ownership of outcomes.
• High levels of organisation, attention to detail and accountability.

Whilst not essential, the following skills would also be desirable:

• Knowledge of data licensing, intellectual property rights and data governance principles.
• Experience managing royalty‑based commercial agreements.
• Familiarity with procurement and supplier governance processes.
