Job Description
Data Governance Manager
Remote with travel to Brentwood (2–4x/month) | Full-Time | Permanent
We’re looking for a practical, experienced Data Governance Manager to help shape and embed sustainable data governance practices across the organisation.
This role is perfect for someone who’s already built or run governance functions before — someone who knows what works (and what doesn’t), brings depth of experience and values doing the job well. You’ll work closely with the Chief Data Officer and key stakeholders across the business to implement meaningful standards, documentation and data quality practices — with a view to building a small team as the function evolves.
If you’ve already done the hard yards and are now looking for a role where you can apply what you know, lead by example, and own your space, this could be the right fit.
What You’ll Be Doing
Define and implement data governance frameworks, policies, and documentation
Be the go-to person for data standards, data ownership, lineage, and quality
Work with business areas to ensure adherence to standards and ongoing improvement
Liaise with Risk and Audit teams to maintain compliance
Build and coach a small team (up to 4 people) as the function grows
Support the Chief Data Officer in maturing the overall data governance capability
Share real examples from your past experience — we’ll want to hear how you’ve built or run governance functions in similar environments
What You’ll Bring
Deep practical experience in data governance — ideally in organisations of similar size or complexity. (circa 900 employees)
Confidence working independently, while also supporting and guiding others
A steady, mature approach — this role is about impact, ownership and consistency
A collaborative, problem-solving mindset with strong communication skills
Experience with data dictionaries, data lineage, data quality monitoring and reporting tools
Familiarity with regulatory compliance and audit standards
People leadership or mentoring experience — or the natural ability to guide and support a small team
Additional Info
Remote-first, with occasional travel to Brentwood (2–4 times per month; potentially more early on)
You’ll be part of a small, growing function with autonomy to shape your area
Ideal for someone who values balance, stability, and purposeful work
Training and support available, but we’re looking for someone who knows how to take ownership from day one
