Data Governance Lead London / WFH
to £150k
Do you have a strong knowledge of Data Governance within regulated financial environments?
You could be progressing your career in an impactful role at a tech driven, global Asset Manager with multiple billions of dollars under management.
About the Role
As a Data Governance Lead you will own and evolve the firm’s Data Governance Framework, ensuring it remains aligned with the Data and AI Strategies, regulatory obligations and target data architecture. You’ll lead data governance forums, drive actions to completion and report on governance maturity, performance and risk to senior stakeholders.
You’ll maintain the register of Data Domains and Critical Data Assets, ensuring clear accountability through designated Data Sponsors and Owners. Collaborating with business teams, you’ll support data owners in managing quality, access controls, metadata and issue resolution, helping resolve ownership challenges and embed consistent practices across the firm.
A key focus will be defining and monitoring data quality standards, including metrics, rules, targets and reporting, while overseeing the resolution of material data issues. You’ll develop and maintain governance policies and guidelines, ensuring controls are proportionate to data classification, risk and business value, and automated wherever possible.
