About Methods:

Methods is a £100M+ IT Services Consultancy who has partnered with a range of central government departments and agencies to transform the way the public sector operates in the UK. Established over 30 years ago and UK-based, we apply our skills in transformation, delivery, and collaboration from across the Methods Group, to create end-to-end business and technical solutions that are people-centred, safe, and designed for the future.

Our human touch sets us apart from other consultancies, system integrators and software houses - with people, technology, and data at the heart of who we are, we believe in creating value and sustainability through everything we do for our clients, staff, communities, and the planet.

We support our clients in the success of their projects while working collaboratively to share skill sets and solve problems. At Methods we have fun while working hard; we are not afraid of making mistakes and learning from them.

Predominantly focused on the public-sector, Methods is now building a significant private sector client portfolio.

Methods was acquired by the Alten Group in early 2022. Alten is a global engineering firm with approximately 57,000 employees specializing in engineering and IT services.

Domain Expert — Data Governance, Stewardship & Information Management

Role summary

The Data Governance, Stewardship & Information Management Specialist helps clients create the data foundations required for trusted analytics, AI, reporting, interoperability, operational decision-making and regulatory confidence.

This role is for someone who can help large, complex organisations make their data usable, governed, secure, discoverable, high-quality and accountable. It is particularly relevant in sectors where data is fragmented across legacy systems, suppliers, operational silos, secure environments or regulated business processes.

Your specialisms should cover data governance, master data management strategy, data quality, data ownership, metadata, information management, DLP and the data-control aspects of AI readiness.

Methods is appointing seven Domain Experts, each matched to a core strategic offering.

  • Client-Side Transformation Partner
  • User-Centred Design & Delivery
  • Cloud Transformation & Modernisation
  • Data Intelligence & Applied AI
  • IT Operations & Service Excellence
  • Enterprise Platform Adoption & Value Realisation
  • Cyber Resilience

These experts will be the thought leaders and subject-matter authorities for their domains, shaping propositions, guiding client delivery, and strengthening Methods’ position in the market.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
