Are you an experienced data leader looking to define and shape how an organisation manages and governs data? This is a newly created role within a major enterprise going through a large-scale transformation, offering the autonomy to redesign data practices from the ground up.

Sitting one level below Director, you will lead a team of 12 (including four Managers) and take full ownership of data management strategy, data governance, and the end-to-end data lifecycle. This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment where you'll influence senior stakeholders, work closely with Risk, Technology and the Chief Data Office, and drive enterprise-wide improvements across data quality, privacy, and governance.

The Role

In this strategic yet hands-on position, you will

  • Own the organisation's Data Management Strategy and drive business-wide change

  • Lead data stewardship across analytical, operational and policy domains

  • Shape and improve data governance, quality frameworks, and risk policies

  • Oversee the full data lifecycle, ensuring data is discoverable, high quality, and well governed

  • Partner with senior leaders, Risk, the DPO and Technology to meet regulatory and privacy requirements

  • Guide the organisation through a major data management transformation

Technical Focus

  • Strong understanding of ETL, APIs and modern cloud data ecosystems

  • SQL and Python expertise (automation experience strongly valued)

  • Knowledge of data quality tooling (e.g. Informatica)

  • Understanding of data architecture, governance frameworks and lifecycle management

  • Experience working within regulatory or data-risk environments is highly advantageous

What They're Looking For

  • An established people leader comfortable managing high-performing teams

  • Experience delivering data management transformations

  • Strong regulatory understanding (GDPR experience beneficial)

  • Ability to influence senior stakeholders and communicate complex data topics with clarity

  • Backgrounds may include: Data Management, Data Quality, Governance, Architecture or senior technical roles that have pivoted into leadership

Why Apply?

This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership role with the freedom to redefine how data is governed within a major organisation. You'll shape the roadmap, influence enterprise standards and set the vision for how data is managed in the future.
