We're looking for a Data Governance Lead to join our Data Governance Team.  Reporting to the Head of Data Governance and Data Protection Officer you will be responsible for leading the transformation and implementation of group strategy across the new acquisitions.  We’d love to hear from enthusiastic subject matter experts from a data governance, data protection, or records management background to build on the framework we have implemented.  The main responsibilities within the role include:

• Lead on implementation of Group data governance strategy and frameworks across new acquisitions.
• Leading on completion of an information audit.

• Develop improvement plans with the business and monitor progress.

A bit about you

Your friends would probably describe you as the ‘disciplined’ one. You’ll be happiest when ensuring policies are adhered too, and that your knowledge and research is put into practice. You will enjoy working as part of a multi-functional team, while taking ownership of the work you do to deliver the best solutions.

You'll love to work with smart people and hate mediocrity; you know there is almost always a better way of doing things even if it can't be delivered immediately. Smaller teams, constantly learning, being challenged, having your own chunk of responsibility, and being trusted to make it happen describe in a nutshell the environment you really thrive in. You want to be part of a collaborative culture where you feel empowered but always know you'll never be left alone.

To thrive in this role, we’d expect you to have experience with some of the following:

• Governance, data protection and data management.
• Qualification in a relevant subject.
• Demonstratable knowledge around data protection disciplines, data policies, specifically data strategy, data retention, record keeping and information security.
• Delivering effective data quality management solutions that have provided realised benefit.
• Effective communication with all levels of the organisation to influence change.
• Leading or playing a significant role in successfully delivering data management solutions or significant cultural change.
• Understanding data lifecycles across internal technology.
• Policy and standards writing, and enforcement.
• Actively leading through change
• Taking ownership for creating and delivering against a roadmap.
