As part of WPP’s multi‑year Enterprise Technology transformation, the Global CRM Programme is a foundational capability underpinning client, commercial, and data‑driven growth.
The consolidation of multiple CRM solutions into a single platform introduces significant systems integration and data complexity, including:
diverse legacy systems and interfaces inconsistent client, revenue, and pipeline data, varying agency and market integration patterns
A dedicated Systems & Data Integration Lead is required to:

The Systems & Data Integration Lead is accountable for defining and governing the integration and data landscape for WPP’s Global CRM Programme, which is consolidating multiple legacy CRM platforms into a single, enterprise‑wide Microsoft Dynamics–based solution.
The role ensures the global CRM platform integrates effectively with the wider enterprise ecosystem (finance, work management, data, identity, marketing, and AI platforms), while protecting data integrity, consistency, security, and scalability across agencies, markets, and clients.
Operating within a centrally governed but locally deployed model, the role balances enterprise integration standards with practical delivery realities, enabling shared global processes and controlled local extension without re‑introducing fragmentation or technical debt.

Identify and manage integration‑related risks, dependencies, and constraints, escalating where enterprise value or delivery viability is threatened
Support release planning and market onboarding by ensuring integration readiness and stability
The role works closely with the CRM Design Authority and Technology Delivery Programme Board to ensure integration and data decisions align to business priorities, functional standards, and delivery constraints.
