At Insignia Financial, we are committed to ensuring our data is not only a strategic asset but also governed and managed to the highest standards. As we continue to enhance our data governance practices, we are seeking a dynamic and experienced Head of Data Governance & Information Management to lead the charge. This is an exciting opportunity to oversee and elevate the governance of our most valuable asset – data – and ensure the organisation’s adherence to regulatory requirements, policies, and industry standards.

Why This Role Is Exciting:

  • Shape Data Governance Strategy: Lead the data governance and information management function, ensuring our data practices meet legal, regulatory, and business needs.
  • Collaborative Impact: Work closely with senior leaders across the organisation, including Risk, Legal, Cyber, and Infrastructure, to foster a culture of data compliance and integrity.
  • Leadership Role: Manage a high-performing team of data governance specialists and stewards while directly influencing the future of data policy at board level.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and evolve Insignia Financial’s data governance framework, ensuring compliance with policies, laws, and regulations, while providing guidance on the application of these standards across the organisation.
  • Establish, maintain, and communicate data governance policies, frameworks, and guidelines that safeguard data integrity and regulatory compliance.
  • Grow and lead a community of Data Stewards across the business, ensuring clear ownership and accountability for data governance and quality.
  • Work with key business units, such as Risk, Legal, and Cybersecurity, to align on data governance practices, mitigate risks, and uplift the data culture across the organisation.
  • Represent the data governance function to the business and board, ensuring effective communication of data policies and risks in a clear and engaging manner.
  • Lead and mentor a team of data governance specialists and stewards (8-10 direct reports), providing strategic direction and professional development opportunities.

What You Bring to This Role:
We’re seeking a leader with a solid combination of technical expertise, with the ability to manage and influence key stakeholders. To succeed in this role, you’ll need:

  • Strong experience in data governance, risk management, or data-related roles, with a track record of successfully leading teams and influencing senior leaders.
  • In-depth knowledge of data governance tools such as Collibra, Informatica, and Master Data Management (MDM), with a strong understanding of data privacy laws and regulations.
  • Communication & Influence: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage and influence stakeholders across the business, from data teams to the board.
  • Strategic Mindset: A strong ability to think strategically while being hands-on in day-to-day operations, balancing long-term governance frameworks with short-term data needs.

Why Insignia Financial?

  • Data-Driven Culture: Join a forward-thinking organisation where data governance is a top priority and integral to business strategy.
  • Growth & Opportunity: This is a key leadership role at a time when Insignia Financial is strengthening its data practices, offering an opportunity to make a lasting impact on the organisation.
  • Supportive Leadership Team: Work alongside an innovative and collaborative data leadership team where your expertise will be valued and your contributions will be seen as central to the business’s success.
