Job Description
This is a genuinely influential role for someone who wants to improve data quality in a way that actually sticks.
The Data Quality Improvement Manager sits within a central Technology function, reporting into a Head of Data Governance, and plays a key role in improving the quality, integrity and reliability of critical data across a large, complex organisation.
This isn’t about writing policies and walking away. It’s about working with the business, understanding how data is created and used, and helping teams improve it at source building trust in data over time.
What you’ll be doing
* Leading organisation-wide initiatives to improve the quality, consistency and reliability of priority datasets
* Defining, embedding and maintaining data quality standards aligned to a wider data governance framework
* Working closely with Data Owners, Data Stewards, Technology teams and business stakeholders to drive accountability for data
* Helping non-technical teams understand why data quality matters and how to improve it in practice
* Identifying data risks and issues, escalating them appropriately and supporting effective resolution
* Contributing to a collaborative data culture where ownership and quality are shared responsibilities
About you
You care about Data Culture, care about getting people on board.
You’re someone who can bridge governance and delivery.
You’ll have experience working with data governance and data quality in a complex or multi-entity organisation, and you’re confident engaging with a wide range of stakeholders from technical teams to senior business leaders.
You’re pragmatic, structured and collaborative. You enjoy untangling messy data problems, prioritising what matters most, and helping organisations improve how data is managed day-to-day.
Why this opportunity
You’ll be joining a values-led organisation with a strong social purpose, where data is recognised as a critical enabler of good decision-making and service delivery.
The culture is collaborative, inclusive and outcomes-focused. You’ll be trusted to do your job properly, encouraged to challenge constructively, and supported to make meaningful improvements rather than short-term fixes.
