Head of Data Strategy & Governance
Company Overview
For over 40 years, we've built a reputation as a responsive, expert partner. Our friendly and experienced team remains committed to transforming healthcare through better data.
Stalis has unrivalled experience of working with, and migrating data to, the industry-leading cloud technology platforms—namely Oracle, Epic, and Meditech. We are a long-established leader in health and care data migration, uniquely focused on delivering secure, accurate data solutions. Unlike most specialists, our dedicated team works collaboratively across migration, archiving, sales, and support—bringing unmatched experience to every project.
About the Role
We're hiring a Head of Data Strategy & Governance to scale our data governance and change practice across Ireland and the UK. You'll be the senior voice on our data strategy work, driving the methodology we recommend to clients and how we run engagements. You'll partner closely with our Head of Data Science, who owns the technology, platforms, and engineering practice, while you own the governance and deployment capability that leads to transformative outcomes for our clients.
