SOC 2131 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £58,200, and Infinite Lambda is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2431 (Management consultants and business analysts) or SOC 2440 (Business and financial project management professionals). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.

About the role
About The Role
As a Delivery Lead at Infinite Lambda, you'll hold accountability for the successful delivery of multi-workstream programmes for our most important clients. You will own the entire programme lifecycle — from commercial handover through to closure — coordinating multiple projects, teams, and delivery streams into a single coherent outcome. You will be a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders, including C-level executives, and the person our clients and our own leadership turn to when a programme hits a serious issue and needs a steady, credible hand to resolve it.
You are a critical partner in our client relationships, working closely with Account Managers to protect and grow long-term accounts, and with Executive Sponsors to keep governance sharp and escalations resolved quickly. Beyond delivery, you're expected to translate ambiguous, high-level business strategy into structured requirements and a deliverable roadmap — bringing the same rigour to business analysis as you do to programme governance.

Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end delivery of multi-workstream programmes spanning multiple projects, vendors, and delivery teams, using Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid approaches tailored to each client and phase.
- Hold ultimate accountability for programme scope and benefits realisation across the full programme lifecycle.
- Act as the escalation point for serious programme issues: recover programmes that are off-track, re-baseline commercials and timelines where needed, and manage the client conversations that come with it.
- Design and enforce programme-level governance models, RAID processes, and reporting standards, ensuring predictable, high-quality execution is visible at every level from delivery team to executive sponsor.
- Facilitate steering committees, delivering clear, credible updates and recommendations to C-level stakeholders on both the client and Infinite Lambda side.

Experience:
- 7+ years of experience leading complex, multi-workstream programmes, with a strong focus on data warehouse migration and/or AI.
- Consulting background, ideally within data or technology consultancies.
- Track record of taking accountability for troubled or at-risk programmes and successfully recovering them — commercially and operationally.
- Demonstrated business analysis experience at a strategic level — translating executive-level business objectives into structured requirements, benefits cases, and roadmaps.
- Extensive experience with agile methodologies at programme scale, including managing dependencies and governance across multiple concurrent workstreams.
- Strong conceptual understanding of software engineering and data delivery principles, sufficient to challenge, guide, and support technical leadership across several workstreams at once.
Advertisement
- Proficiency in a variety of programme and project management tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Trello).
- Strong business analysis toolkit at programme scale: requirements gathering, benefits mapping, process mapping, and senior stakeholder workshops.
- Exceptional problem-solving, conflict resolution, and change management skills, particularly under pressure or in adversarial situations.
- Ability to structure a complex, ambiguous programme into a clear workstream breakdown, dependency map, and governance model.
- Experience managing multiple concurrent programmes or a large single programme with several parallel workstreams.
- Familiarity with a range of delivery methodologies and the judgement to select and adapt the right one per workstream.
- Comfortable holding ultimate accountability, including for issues you didn't personally cause.
- Calm and decisive under pressure — the person the room looks to when a programme is at risk.
- Demonstrated ability to orchestrate the big picture across multiple workstreams while still tracking the details that matter.
- A collaborative and positive approach to people, balanced with the willingness to have difficult conversations early.
- Willingness to take new directions and adapt to changing priorities at short notice.
