About the Client

Our client is a leading specialist insurance organisation with a growing focus on data-led transformation and stronger enterprise data management.

Role Overview

The organisation has a growing Data Governance framework but is looking for an experienced Senior Data Governance Analyst to help mature and embed it across the business. This is a hands-on role combining Data Governance, Data Quality, Reference Data Management and stakeholder engagement.

The successful candidate will have delivered similar Data Governance roles within the insurance or specialist insurance market and will be comfortable working with Data Owners, Data Stewards, SMEs and senior stakeholders to improve governance, accountability and adoption across the business.

Key Responsibilities

  • Mature and embed the existing Data Governance framework, including ownership, stewardship, standards and governance processes.
  • Take hands-on ownership of Reference Data Management, including data requests, mappings, hierarchies, classifications and data issue resolution.
  • Lead and improve the Data Council forums, increasing engagement, participation and awareness of Data Governance across the business.
  • Work with Data Owners, Stewards, Product Owners and SMEs to improve accountability and embed governance practices into BAU.
  • Identify and deliver improvements across data quality, processes, user experience and Reference Data Management.
  • Produce governance documentation, training materials and communications to support the Data Strategy and wider adoption of governance practices.

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.
