We're looking for the very best Data Management Leader to help a wonderful organisation deliver on its' exciting growth strategy.
Bring structure, clarity and impact to this business building its data future.
The organisation is on a mission to transform how it manages and uses its data — from reactive fixes to structured, strategic enablement.
As Data Management Lead, you’ll take a central role in building the frameworks, processes and relationships that will shape the future of data governance in this, one of the UK’s successful tech businesses.
This is a brand-new role. One that sits at the heart of the organisation's transformation agenda — as it replaces its core business systems and brings a digital broom to its operating model. It's fair to say the business is at the foundation-building stage of its data maturity journey: tackling quality issues, investing in a modern data platform, and laying the groundwork for better master data management (MDM) across key domains like customers, products and people.
You’ll be the one to help us pull it all together.
Working closely with the Head of Data Strategy, and supported by an Exec sponsor, you’ll turn vision into action: implementing a data governance framework that’s fit for purpose, rolling out standards and training across the business, and embedding the structures the business needs to make data a true business asset — not a bottleneck.
And it’s urgent.

Data is under pressure at this organisation - the appetite for change has never been greater. With new platforms on the way and growing demands from sales, finance, product and IT, the organisation needs structure, clarity and consistency. Help this organisation stop firefighting and start building.
