Data Governance Manager – Banking – Contract - London – Hybrid
A Data Governance Specialist is required by a UK Challenger Bank on a contract basis to champion better data practices across the business and help turn their data into a genuine competitive advantage.
Data is one of the most valuable assets a bank holds — and we're looking for someone who can help them treat it that way.
What you'll be doing
- Championing data governance across the organisation and helping the business get more strategic value from its data
- Embedding strong data practices at every point in the data lifecycle
- Building and leading a network of data owners/stewards across departments, bringing data policies to life day-to-day
- Coaching business teams to raise their data maturity and confidence
- Owning the rollout of the data catalogue — making sure it's well-designed, well-maintained, and genuinely useful
- Driving up data quality by working with teams to spot and fix issues at the source
- Shaping the broader data & analytics strategy through smart, practical governance input
- Exploring new technology — including AI — to strengthen how data is managed and monitored
- Running training and awareness activities to lift data literacy across the bank
- Translating regulatory reporting changes into clear data requirements, and pushing for greater automation
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
