Head of Enterprise Data Delivery

£85,900 (includes car allowance)

Hybrid - Milton Keynes or Boston

Permanent, Full-Time

Summary

This is a senior, hands‑on leadership role for someone who thrives on delivery, momentum and outcomes. As Head of Enterprise Data Delivery, you will take end‑to‑end accountability for how enterprise data is engineered, governed and delivered — ensuring the organisation has trusted, usable data that genuinely enables insight and decision‑making.

Salary: £80,000 per year (plus car allowance)

Contract: Permanent, full time

Your week: 36.25 hours, Monday – Friday (9am – 5.15pm)Location: Hybrid, with weekly presence in Milton Keynes or Boston

Snapshot of your role

You will lead delivery across Data Platform, Data Products and Data Governance, owning the journey from source systems through to certified reporting and analytics.

This role is about execution. You’ll set clear delivery plans, remove blockers, enforce standards and intervene directly when progress stalls. You’ll act as a senior technical peer to engineers, architects and governance specialists, challenging designs and ensuring solutions are pragmatic, scalable and production‑ready.

You’ll drive the modernisation of legacy data assets, embed strong engineering practices, and ensure data products are clearly defined, governed and trusted. Alongside this, you’ll build a delivery‑focused culture — one that values ownership, pace and visible progress — and give senior leaders confidence in what is being delivered and when.

Quote from Christopher Heappey

“This role is about getting things done. We need someone who can bring urgency and clarity to enterprise data delivery — making decisions, removing blockers and holding the line on quality. If you’re motivated by outcomes rather than theory, this is a role where you can make a real impact.”

Christopher Heappey - Director of Insight & Innovation

Proven leadership of multi‑disciplinary data teams

Experience delivering modern data platforms and semantic layers

A track record of turning business demand into tangible data outputs

Strong delivery discipline, clear communication and technical credibility

Confidence to challenge constructively and hold teams to account

You’re pragmatic, resilient and motivated by progress you can see — not just plans on paper.

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data science hiring over the next three years — from MLE crossover to GenAI workflows. Data science has spent the past decade being described as the sexiest job of the twenty-first century. By 2026, the reality is both more nuanced and more interesting than that label ever suggested. The discipline has matured, fragmented, deepened, and in some respects reinvented itself — and the jobs market has changed with it in ways that create genuine opportunity for those who understand what employers actually want, and genuine difficulty for those still operating on assumptions formed five years ago. The data science jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. The generalist data scientist — equally comfortable wrangling data, building models, and presenting insights to the board — is giving way to a more specialised landscape where employers know exactly what problem they are trying to solve and are looking for candidates with the specific depth to solve it. Machine learning engineering, causal inference, experimentation, AI product development, and domain-specific applied science have all emerged as distinct career tracks within what was previously a single, loosely defined profession. At the same time, the arrival of large language models and the broader AI capability wave has both threatened and created data science roles in equal measure. Some of the work that junior data scientists spent their early careers doing — data cleaning, exploratory analysis, basic model building — is being partially automated by AI tooling. But the demand for practitioners who can evaluate AI systems rigorously, apply statistical thinking to complex business problems, and build the data foundations on which AI depends has grown considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what data scientists are expected to build and know, and how to position a data science career that will remain valuable as the field continues to evolve around them. This article breaks down what the UK data science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
