Data & AI Cluster Lead

Cluster Lead

At the heart of our digital transformation there is measurable shift in focus from projects and activities to products and outcomes. The Data & AI Cluster Lead is a newly created role and is key for this shift to happen. We intend to build a team of empowered individuals living and breathing the ideation, definition and delivery of data products, services and solutions for our customers and wider business.

Working to support the Solution Leads across the Value streams of Sales, Service, Product and our Core Programmes, the Data & AI Cluster Lead will work hand in hand with the CFU/CU Tribe Cluster Leads, partnering to capture and manage demand directly from the Tribe. This demand will then be cross referenced to ensure it aligns with both the agreed Business outcomes and our Data and AI strategy, goals and objectives, ensuring we can commit to on time deliverables that will be prioritised based on value and speed to market. The Cluster lead will also work the respective CFU/CU Tribes to agree the most optimal delivery model for the Data & AI squads to operate.

• Embed -> Resource provisioning

• Enable -> Direct outcome delivery

Support the Solution Lead across the dedicated Value Stream in delivering best in class solutions for our customers.
