Data Governance Specialist | 6-Month Contract | Cambridge (2 days onsite) | £700 per day | Inside IR35
La Fosse are partnering with a leading technology business to hire an experienced Data Intelligence & Governance Specialist to join a small, collaborative data team on an initial 6-month contract.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who sits comfortably between data, analytics, governance, and AI - someone who can take complex business requirements, turn them into intuitive data solutions, and ensure the underlying data is trusted, well-defined, and ready to support AI.
You’ll work closely with business stakeholders and Data Engineers, helping to shape both the front-end data experience and the governance and data foundations behind it.
The Role
- Partner with business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate business questions into effective data, analytics, and AI solutions.
- Define and align KPIs, metrics, business definitions, and semantic models.
- Build engaging Power BI dashboards and visualizations, alongside Databricks AI/BI capabilities and Genie Rooms.
- Configure and continuously improve Databricks Genie Rooms to enable natural-language analytics.
- Support the development of ontology, taxonomy, metadata, tagging, and business glossaries.
- Understand data lineage from source through to consumption, helping ensure data is trusted, traceable, and fit for purpose.
- Validate data, calculations, visualizations, and AI-generated responses.
- Work closely with Data Engineers to improve data quality, lineage, and governance.
- Support the development of AI-enabled data solutions, including areas such as RAG and LLM integrations.
- Gather stakeholder feedback and continuously improve solutions based on business needs and adoption.
