Job Title Data Governance Senior Manager Location Sydney Description

The Opportunity:

Ashurst Risk Advisory was created to respond to client demand and is designed to provide risk expertise that complement the firm's core legal services. With dedicated teams of legal and risk professionals working side by side, it brings together the technical expertise and critical thinking required to operationalise laws and regulations and help clients to achieve their goals.

To find out more please visit www.ashurst.com

As a result of exponential growth we are looking to hire an Executive to join our Data & Analytics team, in either Sydney or Melbourne, with demonstrated experience in Data Governance.

You will be responsible for delivering strategic Data and risk solutions, as well as providing effective communication to clients, maintaining key Ashurst and client relationships, and contributing to the growth and development of the Risk Advisory practice and Data & Analytics team in Australia.

Across a regular week as an Executive you will:

  • Develop data governance frameworks for organisations.
  • Lead and co-lead delivering client solutions by reviewing client materials, conducting research, analysing information and data, identifying gaps/issues and developing recommendations to solve their problems across the breadth of data.
  • Be responsible for structuring and managing the end to end project scope, budget and matter admin, developing project plans, identifying resourcing needs, delegating and reviewing work across the project team and meeting delivery dates.
  • Own the creation of client artefacts (agendas, check in packs, reports, workshop materials, presentations), revised with input from Directors and Partners.
  • Develop go-to market materials, including capability statements and potential offerings.
  • Develop proposals including designing the proposed approach for delivering client solutions, design the scope of work, cost estimates, and identify relevant expertise and experience required to suit the client's needs.
  • Assist in building and fostering trusted client relationships with integrity including liaising directly with clients and leading client meetings, when required.
  • Assist with coaching junior members of the team and recruitment.

Please review the job description attached to the role on our careers site as it provides more detail around the team, role, what we can offer you, and what we are looking for.

About You:

  • You're excited about using your data talents to help solve a diverse range of client problems with new, unique and inventive solutions, and assist in the growth of a unique and 'first to market' practice.
  • You have 5-8 years' experience working in Data Governance, ideally in a client facing role in a well-respected consultancy.
  • You have proven experience bringing high quality value to clients through developing data strategies, designing & embedding data governance/quality frameworks, documenting data management policies, driving insights through analytics and reporting, or creating AI/ML-backed solutions.
  • You have experience in identification of Critical Data Elements, and documentation of data lineage.
  • You're experienced and comfortable with the common tools in this space. We use a combination of Alteryx, SQL Server, PowerBI, Tableau and Python but no worries if you're not an expert in these; experience with other common analytics tools is also fine.
  • You're confident in autonomously finding solutions to a range of problems, especially those related to risk management, in a commercial and client focused way.
  • You have proven experience in business development including developing go-to-market material and proposals.
  • You have experience developing and managing project plans and ensuring project budgets are met.
  • You have proven experience coaching and guiding junior members of your team.
  • You have exceptional written and verbal communication with a focus on attention to detail. You will have experience writing a range of business documents including reports, letters and proposals.


What makes Ashurst a great place to work?

We are a team devoted to collaboration, diversity, transparency and innovation. Our vision is to create a unique culture in the consulting market based around teamwork and a structure that offers everyone a voice and the encouragement to help us build the practice. Our ambition is to hire a highly diverse team combining various personalities, cultures and professional backgrounds, and offer them the opportunity to directly deal with clients, take responsibility for business development, drive their careers, and help us in defining our strategy, culture and processes.

We offer award winning Learning & Development and Diversity & Inclusion programs, and a range of benefits including, subsidised gym membership, discounted health insurance, complimentary health and wellbeing support programs, study support, annual bonuses, flexible working, and 26 weeks parental leave, to name a few. We are also committed to delivering positive impacts to our communities through our Social Impact programme, with a strong emphasis on working with First Nations people through our pro bono practice.
