Overview
Reporting into the Head of Operations, this role has been created due to a gap in internal Information Governance capability. The programme spans multiple stakeholders and delivery partners, with complex and shared datasets.

* Lead on DPIAs, DSARs and Data Protection Act compliance
* Support the rollout of a secure centralised platform used by internal teams and external partners
* Advise stakeholders on best practice, risk mitigation and compliance
* Ensure data integrity, consistency and appropriate controls across multiple projects

Day-to-Day Focus
* Data mapping and data flow analysis
* Governance advisory and hands-on delivery
* Supporting multiple concurrent digital/data initiatives
* Translating requirements into practical governance controls

Requirements
* Strong Information/Data Governance experience (strategy and hands on delivery)
* Proven track record implementing governance frameworks from scratch
* Experience with DSARs, DPIAs and DPA compliance
* Comfortable working across complex, multi-stakeholder environments
* Experience consolidating siloed data into a unified governance approach
* Exposure to digital/customer platforms or transformation programmes beneficial
* Experience working across partnership or multi-organisation environments preferred

Soft Skills
* Personable and confident with stakeholders
* Pragmatic and solutions-focused
* Comfortable in fast-moving, delivery-focused environments
* Able to clearly explain governance and best practice to non-technical teams
