Data Governance Manager – Southampton (3x a week onsite) - £65,000 + benefits
We are working with a global infrastructure organisation operating across complex, highly regulated and operationally critical environments. With data increasingly central to how the organisation makes decisions, manages risk, improves performance and develops new digital and AI-enabled capabilities, they are investing in how they govern and use their data across the organisation.
Our client is now looking for an experienced Data Governance Manager to build and establish their enterprise data governance capability from the ground up, moving them from fragmented, reactive data practices to an approach that is governed, trusted and scalable. The Data Governance Manager will have strong knowledge of DAMA DMBOK (or an equivalent framework), along with practical knowledge of UK GDPR and data governance controls.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This role requires strong stakeholder management and would suit someone who enjoys changing behaviours as much as creating frameworks, leading through influence and building strong relationships across the organisation.
Key Requirements
- Experience building data governance frameworks from scratch
- Strong knowledge of DAMA DMBOK (or an equivalent framework)
- Strong understanding of UK GDPR
- Experience turning concepts such as data quality, metadata, lineage and stewardship into operational processes
- Experience working with data governance technologies such as Microsoft Purview, data catalogues, lineage, data quality and MDM platforms
- Confidence operating across Microsoft, SAP and cloud environments
- Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills
