The role

As Kraken’s Practice Lead for the Data Operating Model, you will define and own Kraken’s point of view on great utility data practices.

You will shape how utilities become data-driven – from org design and operating rhythms to data culture and business adoption. You’ll establish the frameworks, transformation patterns, and practical approaches that help clients turn Kraken data into measurable business impact.

Alongside this, you’ll codify repeatable data value use cases, building compelling proof points for how modern data practices improve business performance.

You’ll define how Kraken engages clients on this through workshops, executive advisory, targeted pilots and transformation playbooks. You’ll scale this globally by enabling data CDLs and Org Design leads to apply the model consistently, while stepping in directly for critical client moments and complex transformations.

This is an early-stage opportunity to shape how a major industry approaches data transformation. You’ll define this practice from the ground up – and change how major utilities operate in the process.

What you will do

• Define Kraken’s global point of view on great data operating models— covering organisational patterns, decision-making, ways of working.
• Create scalable transformation playbooks, workshops and client approaches that help organisations adopt modern data practices.
• Enable delivery teams to lead stronger client transformations through practical frameworks, coaching and senior escalation support.
• Develop reusable data value use cases and transformation patterns that accelerate adoption and create compelling business proof points.
• Lead critical and complex client conversations, particularly where organisational change or data transformation risk is involved.

Key Success Factors (What you need to have)

• Experience leading large-scale data transformation, operating model or organisational design initiatives in complex environments.
• Strong judgement on what great data-driven organisations look like — including culture, team structures, governance, and business adoption.
• Ability to turn real-world experience into practical, scalable frameworks, workshops and executive-level guidance.
• Credibility to challenge and influence senior stakeholders on organisational change, capability gaps and data transformation approach.
• Track record of driving change through influence, especially in environments where success depends more on alignment than hierarchy.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and building new capabilities in fast-moving, high-autonomy environments.
