Data Governance Analyst
Manchester (2 days a week) | £50,000 + 15% Bonus + 10% Pension
We're partnering with a global organisation that's making significant investment in its data capabilities and is looking to appoint a Data Governance Analyst to help shape and mature its enterprise data governance function.
This is an opportunity to join a business that sees data as a strategic asset. You'll play a key role in building a trusted, well-governed data estate that enables better decision-making, supports advanced analytics and AI initiatives, and promotes a strong data-led culture across the organisation.
The Opportunity
Working as part of a growing Data Governance team, you'll help establish and embed data governance practices across multiple business domains. You'll collaborate with stakeholders across business and technology to ensure data is well-defined, trusted, governed and consistently managed throughout its lifecycle.
You'll be responsible for maintaining governance artefacts such as metadata, business glossaries, data dictionaries and lineage, while supporting governance forums, improving data quality processes and helping drive adoption of governance standards across the organisation.
