1. Role details

Job title: Head of Transformation Delivery

Main purpose of job:

The Head of Transformation Delivery leads how Embridge delivers

transformation programmes and projects for its clients, including new

BTaaS projects. The role makes sure our ERP and business

transformation programmes deliver meaningful business outcomes,

not simply successful technical implementations.

The role leads Project Management and the PMO, and owns delivery

methodology, portfolio governance, project controls, project gross

margin and client satisfaction. It approves which people are deployed

onto its projects; Resourcing, within People, provides the skills and

holds the utilisation target.

It embeds Embridge’s EQ-led approach to transformation, combining

technology, process and organisational change, and our proprietary

methodologies consistently across every engagement. It provides

programme leadership and assurance on complex programmes, and

is a senior delivery contact for client executives.

Elastic Change is Embridge’s approach to transformation. It

recognises that change is rarely linear: client priorities, pressures and

technology shift over time, so delivery must adapt without losing

control or commercial discipline.

Reports to: Head of Professional Services

Function: Operations

Team: Transformation Delivery (Project Management and PMO)

Leadership Responsibility: Senior Project Managers, Project Managers, and the PMO and Junior

Project Managers

2. Key Responsibilities

Business Change & Adoption

Description

● Embed organisational change, stakeholder engagement and user adoption in the

delivery methodology and in every project plan.

● Work with the Training & Adoption team so that adoption is planned in from the start,

not added at the end.

● Build Project Managers’ capability in change leadership, stakeholder engagement and

EQ Leadership.

● Apply Elastic Change, adapting delivery as client circumstances change without losing

control of scope, time or cost.

Programme Leadership & Assurance

Description

● Provide oversight and assurance across complex ERP and business transformation

programmes.

● Act as senior delivery lead or SRO on strategic programmes.

● Own portfolio governance and the PMO: health reviews, RAID, quality gates and

project controls, proportionate to project size and risk.

● Build a PMO and Junior Project Manager capability that runs portfolio reporting and

Project Managers for complex programmes.

● Run a regular portfolio review covering health, forecasts, margin, outcomes and client

satisfaction.

● Lead the recovery of programmes at risk.

Customer Experience of Delivery

Description

● Make sure the way we deliver reflects Embridge’s EQ-led transformation proposition

risks emerge.

● Own clean handovers from Sales to Delivery at kick-off, and from Delivery to Support

and Customer Success at go-live.

Methodology & IP

Description

● Embed Embridge’s proprietary transformation methodologies consistently across all

engagements.

● Lead a review of the delivery methodology within the first six months, and keep

playbooks, templates and quality gates current.

they stay visible and support renewal and expansion.

Commercial Delivery

Description

● Be accountable for project gross margin across the delivery portfolio.

● Approve which people are deployed onto projects, accepting only work that can be

billed and adds value. Resourcing, within People, provides the skills and holds the

utilisation target.

● Maintain strong project controls: forecasts, change control, and action on scope creep

and revenue leakage.

● Sign off scope, estimates, assumptions and risks before Statements of Work are issued.

● Work with Commercial and Product to shape fixed-price and packaged delivery offers.

Leadership & Team Development

Description

● Lead, manage and develop Senior Project Managers, Project Managers, Junior Project

Managers and the PMO.

● Set clear delivery standards and hold the team to them, with regular performance and

development reviews.

● Maintain clear Project Manager and Senior Project Manager levels, with a defined

progression path.

Senior Data Scientist

Location: Fully remote (UK or Norway) · Office available in central Oslo Type: Full-time, permanent Salary: [£X–£Y (UK)] / [NOK X–Y (Norway)], plus benefits

About Inspera

Inspera Assessment is a leading European e-assessment platform. Universities, awarding organisations, and governments worldwide use it to deliver secure, standardised assessments at scale. Last year, 18 million assessments were delivered on Inspera across 180+ countries. Founded in Oslo in 1999, we're an international team of 180+ EdTech professionals on a mission to impact education globally.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Data & AI team, a small, high-impact group behind the data, psychometric, and AI capabilities that power Inspera's platform.

This is a hands-on, full-lifecycle role. You'll share ownership of several production systems, from psychometric engines to data pipelines and APIs, and help build the next generation of AI-powered assessment features. If you enjoy open-ended problems, picking up new domains quickly, and owning things end-to-end, this role is for you.

We're a distributed, remote-first team working across the UK, Norway, and India.

What You'll Do

● Apply statistics and optimisation: Maintain and improve our psychometric models and automated test construction engine. Bring statistical rigour to validation, data quality, and evaluation.

● Build and evolve the data platform: Develop pipelines, services, and infrastructure, and keep them reliable, performant, and well-governed.

● Build AI capabilities: Extend our production LLM features into embeddings, semantic search, RAG, and agent-ready interfaces. Explore AI enhancements to existing products, such as test-construction recommendations and content gap analysis.

● Run production systems: Share production support across our services. Investigate and resolve issues wherever they occur in the stack.

● Collaborate: Work closely with teammates in the UK, Norway, and India, as well as product and platform engineering. Explain your work clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

Our Stack

You don't need experience with all of these. This is what you'll be working with.

● Languages & frameworks: Python, PySpark, PyTorch, FastAPI ● Data: Databricks, Delta Lake, Elasticsearch, Unity Catalog ● Cloud & infrastructure: AWS, Terraform/Terragrunt, AWS CodePipeline CI/CD ● AI: AWS Bedrock

What We're Looking For

Required

● 5 years+ of hands-on experience in data science, ML engineering, or a closely related role

● Strong Python: clean, tested, production-quality code, not just notebooks ● Solid mathematical and statistical foundations: maximum likelihood estimation, probabilistic and

latent-variable models, and optimisation, plus the ability to turn real problems into formal formulations ● Production experience: you've deployed, monitored, and debugged data-intensive or ML systems in

production ● Self-direction and clear communication: you can prioritise and drive work independently in a small

team, and you communicate well in English

Strongly Preferred We expect strong candidates to bring several of these, not all.

● Data engineering: pipelines and performant SQL/PySpark on Databricks or a similar Spark-based platform, ideally on AWS

● Applied LLM experience: you've shipped features using LLMs, embeddings, or RAG beyond the prototype stage

● Infrastructure: IaC (Terraform or similar), CI/CD, and containerisation, so you can deploy and operate what you build

● Mathematical optimisation: linear programming, constraint satisfaction, or operations research ● Education: MSc or PhD in a quantitative field ● PyTorch in production ● Elasticsearch: querying, indexing, troubleshooting ● Agentic systems: agent architectures, tool-use systems, MCP, or knowledge graphs

Nice to Have

● Psychometrics, IRT, or educational measurement (e.g. Rasch, PCM, GRM, classical test theory, test assembly)

● Background in EdTech or assessment ● BI platforms and self-serve analytics patterns

If you meet the required criteria and some of the preferred ones, please apply. We'd rather talk to a strong candidate with gaps than miss them.

What We Offer

● Impact: a permanent role in a small, technically ambitious team with direct influence on how learners worldwide are assessed

● AI strategy: the chance to shape our AI direction and build new capabilities from the ground up ● Breadth: a genuinely broad technical domain, from classical psychometrics to generative AI ● Growth: room to grow, with a high degree of freedom and responsibility ● Competitive salary and benefits (adjusted for UK or Norway) ● Flexibility: fully remote anywhere in the UK or Norway, with no required office days or travel. If you're in

Norway and like an office, our modern city-centre Oslo office and team get-togethers are there for you.

Right to work: You'll need existing right to work in the UK or Norway; we're unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role.

A Candid Note

This is a generalist role in a specialist domain. You'll regularly switch between data engineering, statistical modelling, debugging, infrastructure, and AI development. We don't expect you to be an expert in everything on day one. We do need mathematical maturity, engineering discipline, and curiosity to get up to speed quickly.

You don't need a psychometrics background. But if you'd read a paper on Item Response Theory for fun, or would enjoy learning to, and then build a working implementation the following week, we'd love to talk.
