Job Description
Data Governance Analyst
£50,000 + benefits
Hybrid – 2 days per week onsite (North West)
We’re working with a well-established organisation in the healthcare sector that is investing in its data capability and building out its data governance approach from the ground up.
This is a newly created role for someone who’s ready to own data governance across the business not from a distance, but by getting hands-on, engaging stakeholders, and helping teams make better decisions with more trustworthy data.
You’ll work closely with the Head of Data & Analytics and colleagues across operations, finance, and supply chain to embed governance into day-to-day processes and define what good looks like.
What you’ll be doing:
* Map out current data usage, identify ownership gaps, and propose practical solutions
* Define and embed data ownership, stewardship roles, and business glossaries
* Support the improvement of data quality through guidance, documentation, and collaboration
* Help teams adopt consistent definitions, fix duplication and inconsistency issues
* Provide clear, accessible governance documentation and be a go-to resource for stakeholders
* Engage widely across the business to build trust, increase adoption, and embed data accountability
What we’re looking for:
* Hands-on experience with data governance, data quality, or data stewardship (e.g. from an analyst, data coordinator, or governance role)
* Strong communication and relationship-building skills – someone confident engaging with stakeholders and helping them understand the value of governance
* A mindset that balances structure with flexibility – this isn’t a policy-heavy role, it’s about getting things done
* Any experience with Power BI, SQL, or Microsoft Purview is helpful, but not essential
Why apply?
* You’ll have ownership of the governance agenda, with backing from senior leadership
* It’s a chance to shape data practices in a business that wants to modernise how it uses information
* Hybrid working – with 2 days a week onsite in the North West
* A practical, hands-on role where your communication skills are just as important as your data knowledge
