* Advocacy & Culture: Champion data awareness and governance through training, communications, and involvement in change initiatives
* Team Leadership: Manage a skilled team of Data Quality Managers and Analysts, supporting performance and professional growth
* Risk Oversight: Act as the guardian of data-related risks, ensuring timely and accurate escalation in line with governance frameworks
About You
You’ll bring gravitas, passion for data excellence, and hands-on experience with data governance tooling and SAP systems. Ideally, you'll have:
* 5+ years in data governance, with a track record of delivering enterprise solutions
* Deep expertise in metadata, master data, data lifecycle and quality management
* Proficiency with Aperture Data Governance Studio and working knowledge of SAP ECC, S/4HANA, and cloud analytics
* Experience implementing Agile / DevOps projects
* Strong stakeholder management and leadership skills
* Familiarity with regulatory frameworks (GDPR, DPA) and ethical data practices
Why Apply?
This is more than a data role—it’s a leadership opportunity to shape a data-driven future. You’ll join a values-led organisation where Technology empowers people to do their best work.
