Head of Business Data Solutions

We are pleased to invite applications for the role of Head of Business Data Solutions, a strategic leadership position at the heart of VMO2’s Data Democratisation agenda. This role is ideal for someone who can translate business ambition into data‑driven solutions, influence senior decision-making, and guide how our organisation leverages data to transform processes, capabilities, and outcomes.

As the Head of Business Data Solutions, you will act as a bridge between business domains and data teams, shaping business requirements, identifying opportunities for data-led optimisation, and designing strategic data solutions that deliver measurable value. You will partner closely with senior leaders, technology teams, and data specialists, playing a pivotal role in ensuring our data initiatives remain aligned, scalable, and impactful.

Our ways of working

We’re a flexible-first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity. To support meaningful collaboration, we ask everyone to spend at least eight days each month connecting in person.

That doesn’t just mean time in the office, it could be team meetings, offsites, volunteering days, cross-functional projects, or away days - anywhere meaningful collaboration happens. What matters is making those moments purposeful, so when we come together, it really counts.
