About the role

We are currently recruiting a Data Governance Lead to join our team on a 12 month fixed term contract.

This role will involve significant stakeholder engagement, defining requirements, programme managing the implementation of state-of-the-art data governance solutions, and promoting a high performing and collaborative environment.

You will lead and deliver a new data quality framework and implement data quality, security and privacy tools to automate data governance activities across the enterprise.
