Opus are currently working with a key client on an Agile Coach role. This will be a key role in the development of the team. 

Essential skills:
Initially work alongside the Senior Delivery Manager, coordinating delivery across squads, then move into a stronger coaching and enablement role as the programme matures.Embed pragmatic ways of working: backlog, a shared Definition of Ready and Done, a common sprint cadence and managing dependencies between squads, without unnecessary governance.Support and coach Delivery Leads and BAs, client Product Owners and teams, using flow metrics (throughput, cycle time) so plans rest on measured delivery rather than assumption.Must have: coaching multiple teams on one programme; a Delivery Manager or Scrum Master background; flow metrics and evidence-based forecasting.Nice to have: lightweight scaling approaches (e.g. LeSS); teams using AI-assisted delivery; retail or hospitality.Looking for someone hands-on and pragmatic, comfortable moving between direct delivery support and Agile coaching.

Data Architect | 3-Month Contract | Outside IR35 | £550-£600/day | Hybrid (London)

I'm currently recruiting for a contract Data Architect to play a key role in defining and delivering the organisation's future data strategy and architecture across a large transformation programme. 

This position is focused on data architecture, data modelling, governance and solution design rather than hands-on engineering. You'll work across the wider business to understand the current data landscape, define the target-state architecture, and support the delivery of scalable, well-governed data solutions.

A significant priority for the business is the development and maturity of its Product Data Domain, which underpins several large-scale transformation projects. As a result, we're looking for someone with strong experience in Master Data Management (MDM), including defining master data models, establishing data ownership and stewardship processes, implementing golden record strategies, and driving improvements in data quality and governance across the organisation.

You'll also help shape the organisation's reporting and analytics capabilities through the design of Gold Layer and Semantic Models, supporting executive reporting, financial reporting, enterprise KPIs, dimensional modelling, and star-schema based data structures.

The organisation is currently progressing a strategic migration from Azure Synapse to Microsoft Fabric, making experience with modern Microsoft data platforms highly desirable. Exposure to Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse, Warehouse, Data Factory, OneLake, Power BI Semantic Models and Fabric Governance will be particularly valuable. Experience with Databricks and Data Lake would be beneficial but is not essential.
