Head of Data Governance

A fully remote (UK-based) opportunity for a Head of Data Governance who wants to apply their skills and experience for a positive cause.

This global movement generates enormous volumes of data that are used for multiple purposes. Many systems and tools are used in many countries to generate, store and communicate data and information. The effective and efficient use of data is integral to their strategy moving forward, and data governance and quality are critical components.

This is your opportunity to be the business over for Data Governance in support of a fantastic cause. You will drive the requirements needed to ensure data is accurate, reliable, timely, and usable. You will ensure business unit leaders are clear on what they can do with enterprise data, as well as their respective accountabilities for data stewardship.

Ideally, we want someone with:

Hands-on solving problems. Not just strategic.
Working in an ambiguous environment with a lack of data governance maturity. Nothing in place there currently.
Implementing data governance frameworks from scratch
Knowledge of DAMA Data Management Body of Knowledge
Experience (or ability to) build a community of Data Stewards, globally
Experience with finance data. So a chart of accounts, cost centres, etc. This opportunity suits someone looking to take the next step in their career into a leadership role.

Alternatively, it also suits someone already at the leadership level who enjoys doing the hands-on work, as you only have a very small team. The key here is that you need to leave your ego at the door and enjoy the doing, and problem solving.

It's a fully remote (100%), perm role paying circa £75k with great benefits, including 32 days of holiday, gym membership, and a generous pension.

This is an excellent opportunity for a data governance professional to join a hugely positive organisation where you will develop your skills and career.
