* Lead and evolve data governance processes and frameworks
* Support privacy management and internal assessment reviews
* Perform gap analysis and implement actionable improvements
* Build relationships with cross-functional stakeholders and project teams
YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
A successful Data Governance Manager will bring:
* Experience within financial services or a heavily regulated industry
* Strong understanding of governance, data privacy, and risk frameworks
* Confident communicator with the ability to build stakeholder trust
* Previous line management or mentoring experience
* SQL or technical literacy to support data discussions
* Experience with enterprise data governance/privacy tools
