Advancing Analytics are a market leader in delivering bleeding edge analytical solutions for customers all over the world. To thrive in today's market, businesses need to implement AI and Analytics built on a solid, reliable Data Platform, and we are looking for you to help us build it!

We’re looking for someone who brings strong commercial thinking, thrives in ambiguity, and excels when the playbook is evolving. You’ll be able to partner with senior client stakeholders as a trusted advisor, be comfortable challenging both engineers and executives when needed and you’ll enjoy shaping new ways of working rather than inheriting rigid ones.

You’re likely to be a Senior PM, Programme Manager, or Delivery Lead within data or technology consulting, motivated by impact and influence, and frustrated by slow, bureaucratic delivery models.

Beyond technical capability, you’ll bring honesty, empathy, and a genuine passion for data. You believe in sharing knowledge widely both internally and with the broader data community.

• Experience working in a consultancy or client-facing environments
• Proven ability to manage multi-stream initiatives with senior stakeholders
• Strong commercial awareness (scope control, risk framing)
• Experience delivering cloud, data or analytics platforms
• Experience with Azure Dev Ops, Jira, Git Hub projects or similar, to develop and manage a backlog.

• Familiarity with modern data platforms, including Databricks or Azure.
• Exposure to AI-assisted engineering or automation delivery
• Understanding of Data Lakehouse architecture and implementation patterns

• Strong understanding of project management methodologies including Agile or Scrum.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously whilst maintaining attention to detail.
• Ability to help customers and team members prioritise workloads, so that they maximise delivery value.
• Facilitation of scrum ceremonies, such as Sprint Planning, Playbacks, and Stand-ups so that communication is open between stakeholders and the delivery team
• Identifies and mitigates risk quickly and clearly, while working with the team to overcome blockers.
• Foster a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging feedback and implementing lessons learned.

In this role, you’ll lead multiple high‑impact data programmes, introduce outcome‑based tracking frameworks, and help evolve our internal delivery model for AI‑accelerated builds. You’ll serve as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders while also shaping how we package and position our delivery capability commercially.

We are a small company and encourage everyone to have a voice within our collaborative and inclusive team from day one.

As a Microsoft Specialised Partner, Databricks Brickbuilder Gold Partner, and AWS Partner, you will have access to the latest tech and training opportunities the industry has to offer.

We love being engaged in the wider tech community and frequently present at events, sponsor events such as Big Data London, SQLBits and organise leading community events including Databricks and Microsoft Data & AI meetups around the UK, and the Global AI Bootcamp London.
