📄 Permanent
Pulse Group are exclusively partnered with a major global retailer who are investing significantly in their digital and data capabilities as part of a large-scale transformation programme.
We’re looking for a Senior Data Governance Analyst to join their growing Data & Analytics function and play a key role in shaping how data governance operates across their digital estate.
This is a newly created position rather than a backfill. You’ll be joining a team that is building out its permanent capability, with Collibra sitting on top of Databricks as the enterprise data catalogue. The focus is very much on building and implementing governance, rather than simply maintaining existing policies and processes.

Modern data platforms – ideally Databricks
