As Information Governance Manager, you will be central to embedding a culture of robust management, working across the organisation to lead, coordinate and support knowledge, information & data governance policies, processes, and technologies.
You will lead the information management and data protection function at the organisation, supported by an Information Governance Officer (direct report), information asset owners across JNCC, and the Defra Data Protection Officer. The information management teamlet forms part of the Digital and Data Solutions Team, a multi-disciplinary team focused on delivering great digital and data services for our users.
It is an exciting time to be joining the organisation, as we are in the early stages of implementing our 2030 Digital Strategy, so this is an ideal opportunity for an individual to shape strategic outcomes for real impact for colleagues and stakeholders. The ‘Managing Assets’ pillar of the digital strategy focuses on modernising how information flows through JNCC, safeguarding and optimising our data and information resources, using effective management to maximise value and upholding stakeholder trust.
In the role, you can expect to work across corporate information management and advising on information governance for individual projects and programmes of work, supporting biodiversity and nature conversation in the UK and internationally.
Expertise and experience in data protection and data management would be helpful but evidence of transferable skills - training, support and advice will be available. The successful candidate would be expected to take, and pass, the UK GDPR Practitioner Certificate within six months of appointment.
