Company Description
We’re Together. For over 50 years, we’ve helped thousands of people, businesses and professionals unlock their property ambitions with our common-sense approach to mortgages and secured loans.
We take the time to understand our customers and our door is always open, so we can often help when other lenders can’t or won’t. Based in Cheadle, Cheshire, our 950 colleagues help our customers throughout the UK, backed by the power of a £8 billion loan book.
Job Description
As a Senior Data Governance Analyst here at Together you will provide subject matter expertise and leadership in the development, implementation and continuous improvement of Together’s Data Governance Framework. You will drive data ownership, stewardship, data quality, metadata management and governance maturity across the organisation as a recognised expert in the data, processes and controls.
As a trusted adviser to the business and technical and delivery stakeholders alike, you will be leading governance initiatives; influencing decision making and embedding practical data management controls that support regulatory compliance, operational effectiveness and strategic business outcomes.
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.
