The opportunity to join our team

We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Data Governance Operations to lead a focused team and build our governance framework from the ground up. This is your chance to own the strategy, manage day-to-day operations, and embed a data governance culture that delivers real business value.

 

You’ll collaborate directly with senior executives, influencing key decisions while staying hands-on with the day-to-day challenges. This role offers the opportunity to lead with impact, shape the operation of data governance, and define strategies through your expertise in managing data risk.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of data governance specialists to deliver exceptional outcomes
  • Design and implement governance operations that align with organisational strategy and regulatory requirements
  • Drive a culture of data quality, integrity, and accessibility across all systems and processes
  • Facilitate governance forums such as the Data Governance Working Group and Data Governance Council, building senior-level engagement and buy-in
  • Partner with executives, GMs, and Heads of Function to embed governance into business decision-making
  • Leverage multiple governance tools to deliver solutions that work in practice, not just on paper

 

What you will bring

You’re a strategic operator who can tell the story of why data governance matters - and get people on board. You’ve worked in complex environments, know how to navigate senior stakeholders, and can balance compliance with pragmatic delivery.

 

You’ll stand out if you have:

  • Strong background in data management, governance, risk, compliance, or privacy
  • Proven leadership in building and running data governance operations end-to-end
  • Sharp stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, from operational teams to Board level
  • Consulting or advisory experience highly regarded
  • Ability to design strategies, roll them out, and see them through to measurable results
  • Experience with data governance tools such as Collibra and Informatica
