Data Governance Manager

Hybrid London (1 day/week)

Up to £75,000 + Bonus + Benefits

We're hiring a Data Governance Manager to help build trusted, well-governed data foundations across a growing, tech-led insurance business. This is a hands-on role shaping how data supports analytics, AI, and decision-making across the organisation.

Why this role?

• Own and deliver a company-wide data governance strategy.

• Work in a modern, cloud-based environment (GCP today - AWS/Azure experience welcome).

• Shape data ownership, quality, lineage, and access control.

• Hire and manage a Data Quality Analyst.

• Hybrid working: 1 day per week in the London office.

• Salary up to £75,000 plus bonus and benefits.

What you'll do:

• Design and embed scalable data governance frameworks.

• Define data domains, ownership, and stewardship with engineering and business teams.

• Implement standards for data quality, metadata, lineage, and documentation.

• Support compliance, privacy-by-design, and responsible data access.

• Improve data literacy and governance adoption across teams.

What we're looking for:

• Experience delivering data governance in modern, cloud-based data platforms.

• Strong understanding of metadata-driven governance and analytics/AI data needs.

• Experience with data catalogues, quality, and access control tooling.

• Confident communicator across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to have:

• Regulated industry experience (insurance/FS).

• Exposure to dbt or modern data tooling.

Cloud note: GCP experience is a bonus, not a requirement - strong AWS or Azure backgrounds are welcome.
