DATA GOVERNANCE MANAGER

UP TO £55,000 + BENEFITS

HYBRID - West Midlands

If you're a hands-on Data Governance professional looking to build out a function from the ground up in a collaborative, regulated environment - this could be your next big step.

THE COMPANY:

I'm working with a growing financial services business that's investing heavily in its data function. With a lean structure, a clear mandate, and strong backing, they're rebuilding their Data Governance capability - and looking for someone to lead from the front.

You'll join a business where everyone pitches in, leadership is accessible, and your voice will genuinely shape the way data is managed and protected.

THE ROLE:

As Data Governance Manager, you'll be the key figure in adapting, embedding, and owning governance frameworks across the business. You'll support privacy workflows, drive best practices, and work closely with teams across customer, operations, and data science to get things done.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Lead and evolve data governance processes and frameworks
  • Support privacy management and internal assessment reviews
  • Perform gap analysis and implement actionable improvements
  • Build relationships with cross-functional stakeholders and project teams

YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

A successful Data Governance Manager will bring:

  • Experience within financial services or a heavily regulated industry
  • Strong understanding of governance, data privacy, and risk frameworks
  • Confident communicator with the ability to build stakeholder trust
  • Previous line management or mentoring experience

Bonus points for:

  • SQL or technical literacy to support data discussions
  • Experience with enterprise data governance/privacy tools
  • Excel, PowerPoint, and data visualisation exposure

THE BENEFITS:

You'll receive a salary of up to £55,000 depending on experience, plus a competitive benefits package.
