Job Description

Head of Platform Delivery AI & Data Platform
London Hybrid, 3 days in office Up to 120,000
Ref: J13067

We're hiring a Head of Data Platform Delivery for a growing AI and first party data platform business.
This is not a PMO or traditional programme role.
This is for someone who has delivered within a SaaS or data platform environment and understands how to run complex implementations across multiple enterprise clients.
You will own how delivery works as the business scales. From shaping the operating model to translating commercial agreements into delivery plans, through to leading multiple live client programmes.

What you'll be doing
Turning Statements of Work into clear, realistic delivery plans
Leading multiple platform implementations across enterprise clients
Building delivery frameworks, governance and ways of working from scratch
Aligning Engineering, Data Science and Product teams to deliver effectively
Owning delivery risk, scope, milestones and escalation
Deciding whether client requirements should be built into the core platform or delivered as client specific solutions
Creating a strong feedback loop between delivery and product

What they're looking for
Experience delivering in SaaS, AI or data platform environments
You've built delivery capability, not just operated within it
Strong experience translating commercial agreements into delivery plans
Comfortable running multiple client programmes in parallel
Able to operate in ambiguity and take ownership in a scaling business
Credible with both senior clients and engineering teams
Technical understanding across data platforms, APIs, cloud or similar

If you're currently working in a platform environment and want to take ownership of how delivery is built and scaled, this is a high impact role with real scope to shape how the business operates.
