We are looking to recruit an SC Cleared Data Governance Consultant for a leading technology consultancy.
You will work with clients to establish and improve practical data governance frameworks, covering areas such as data quality, metadata, lineage, stewardship, policy, and standards.

- Delivering data governance frameworks, policies, standards, and operating models.
- Defining stewardship models, governance roles, RACI structures, and decision-making forums.
- Establishing data quality rules, measures, scorecards, and remediation processes.
- Supporting metadata management, business glossaries, data catalogues, and lineage.
- Helping clients classify and protect sensitive data and improve auditability.
- Running stakeholder workshops to understand requirements and translate them into practical governance solutions.
- Producing governance documentation, operating procedures, risk assessments, and assurance reports.
- Supporting AI governance and assurance, including data provenance, bias, privacy, model evaluation, and ongoing monitoring.
- Working alongside data architects, engineers, security specialists, and other consultants.
