The programme is implementing a Master Data Management (MDM) platform on top of an existing technology stack, with significant integration complexity across systems. You'll sit at the heart of a senior delivery team alongside a Data Architect and Project Manager – and you'll be orchestrating a squad of 12–13 data engineers and testers to make it all happen. Remote-first with occasional visits to Ipswich.
