* Work closely with Data Owners, Data Stewards, and other key stakeholders to ensure data quality KPIs are met.

* Maintain awareness of regulatory changes and industry best practices in data governance.
Project & Change Delivery

* Translate complex data requirements into clear, actionable documentation.
* Collaborate with business and IT SMEs to validate and sign off on data requirements.
* Analyse and map data sources, contributing to platform consolidation efforts.
* Support UAT phases to ensure solutions meet business and technical expectations.
Operational Responsibilities
* Assist with onboarding datasets to data governance toolsets (e.g., for cataloguing, classification, and lineage).
* Support data preparation and governance for AI initiatives.
* Identify operational improvements across data services and drive efficiency gains.
* Work hands-on with business and IT teams to map data from source systems into enterprise platforms.
Cross-Functional Collaboration

* Build strong working relationships across the organisation, facilitating effective stakeholder engagement.
What You Bring
* Proven experience working in a data governance, data analysis, or data management role.
* Strong SQL and Python skills (and Excel proficiency).
* Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills—able to influence at all levels.
* Strong understanding of data governance frameworks and tools.
* Experience working in a regulated environment, ideally insurance or financial services.
* Familiarity with data privacy, GDPR, and AML requirements.
* Analytical mindset with excellent attention to detail.
* DAMA or equivalent data governance qualification (preferred but not required).
* Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, change-driven environment.
Why Apply?
