At the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, we work with political leaders around the world to drive change. We help governments turn bold ideas into reality so they can deliver for their people. We do it by advising on strategy, policy and delivery, unlocking the power of technology across all three. And by sharing what we learn on the ground, so everyone can benefit. We do it to build more open, inclusive and prosperous countries for people everywhere.
The role: As the Client Engagement and Delivery Lead (Data), you will drive the design and delivery initiatives that help governments build modern data foundations and use data at scale to improve public outcomes. Reporting to the SD for Client Engagement and Delivery, the role spans strategy and execution. You will work closely with the country teams to identify government needs and shape business opportunities, enabling policies and operating models for data sharing, and strengthening delivery capability so projects translate into scalable, sustainable impact. This role complements the Client Engagement & Delivery Leads on AI and Tech Transformation, with a deeper hands-on emphasis on data architecture and interoperability.
Job requirements: You must have 7–10 years’ experience across data architecture/engineering and delivery in the public sector. Demonstrable ability to design, implement, and review: pipelines (batch/stream), storage layers, data modelling and semantics, APIs/integration, observability, lineage, and access controls. Experience with cloud data stacks (e.g., Spark, Airflow, dbt, Kafka, BigQuery/Snowflake/Synapse) is essential. Credibility with engineers and architects; able to convert strategy into delivery plans and measurable outcomes. Must have hands-on government experience as implementers or practitioners (not policy-only backgrounds). Excellent written and verbal communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills. Ability to work effectively across cultures, and with distributed and cross-functional teams.
Benefits: We pride ourselves on a culture that values and nurtures difference. We are dedicated to unlocking potential, not only for the countries we work in but also for each of our team members. No matter where you’re from or who you are, if you’re passionate about the transformative power of progressive politics, we invite you to build a better future with us.
