This role is responsible for the end-to-end delivery of UK-wide health data programmes, ensuring that: data can be accessed and used in practice across TREs; academic teams can deliver high-quality analysis efficiently; and multi-partner programmes are executed to time, quality, and partner expectations. The role will lead the overall delivery of the programme, working with project team members across HDR UK and its delivery partners. They will also contribute to building a scalable UK health data delivery capability grounded in real-world execution, creating a standardised playbook for multi-partner delivery to create reusable and lasting capability that can be reapplied in other areas. Over time, they will work across other programmes and projects to support data delivery. As such, this role requires astute leadership abilities and experience, first-hand knowledge of NHS routine data use for research and innovation, experience with commercial /pharma sponsored research delivery and, excellent people management and programme management skills.
