c.£72k + bonus
TRIA are supporting a Global F&B client who are embarking on a transformation of its global data landscape, and we are looking for a Data Governance Manager to help build the governance capability from the ground up.
This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of developing and embedding a data governance framework within a complex, multinational organisation where very little exists. You will be joining at a pivotal moment as they implement a new enterprise data &analytics platform, and mature from level 1 governance capability.
What You’ll do:
* Design, build, and roll out an enterprise data governance framework, covering policies, processes, standards, stewardship, and controls.
* Define and embed data ownership and stewardship models globally.
* Develop clear data definitions, business glossaries, and metadata foundations.
* Implement and monitor data quality rules and controls, mitigating business risk associated with incomplete or inconsistent data.
* Partner closely with teams across the business — from senior executives and legal to data stewards and data science, to drive adoption and engagement.
* Play a key role in shaping how data governance aligns with the upcoming Master Data Management (MDM) programme.
* Produce robust documentation and help embed governance into day‑to‑day operations.
What We’re Looking For:
* 5-10 years of experience in Data Governance.
* Proven track record of delivering at least one end‑to‑end governance implementation in a complex organisation.
* Strong understanding of risk, controls, and compliance, ideally with exposure to internal audit, legal, or risk functions.
* Experience designing and embedding governance policies, standards, and operating procedures - not just creating them.
* Excellent stakeholder management, with the ability to influence globally and build trusted relationships.
* Strong documentation, communication, and organisational skills.
If you think your experience aligns with the role requirements, please apply with an up to date CV to be considered.
