Data Governance Lead – Policies & Frameworks

Shape how data drives the business. Build frameworks that actually get used.

We’re looking for a Data Governance expert who thrives on turning strategy into reality—someone who can design robust frameworks and ensure they land, scale, and deliver measurable business value.

Join the Data Trust & Integrity (DTI) team, part of the Group Data Office, where you’ll play a central role in defining how data is governed, trusted, and adopted across a complex, fast-moving environment.

This is not a “write the policy and walk away” role.

You’ll own the full lifecycle—from requirements gathering and design through to implementation, adoption, and continuous improvement—working across a high-volume, high-complexity data landscape.

You’ll bring together technology, architecture, control functions, and business teams, ensuring governance is not just compliant, but practical, scalable, and valuable.

• Design, build, and own data governance policies, frameworks, principles, and adoption playbooks
• Drive business adoption and monitor effectiveness through KPIs and metrics
• Use and evolve AI tools to accelerate policy and framework design
• Collaborate across teams to shape priorities, define roadmaps, and secure buy-in
• Champion data culture, education, and awareness across the organisation
• Deliver training and ongoing support to embed governance into BAU
• Stay ahead of industry trends and best practice in data governance

• Proven experience designing and implementing Data Governance & Data Quality frameworks
• Strong track record of driving adoption in complex, matrix environments
• Confidence working across IT, business units, operations, and control functions
• Deep understanding of:
  • Data Quality & Governance principles
  • Data Privacy, Classification & Retention
  • User Access Models
  • Master & Reference Data Management
• Experience defining and tracking data KPIs and measurable improvements
• A user-first mindset—you care about usability, adoption, and real-world impact
• Enthusiasm for leveraging AI tools to modernise governance

• Modern tooling
  : AI-enabled approaches and agile delivery (Jira-based)
• Collaborative culture
  :
  Iterative, fast-paced, and business-focused
• Real influence
  :
  Drive data culture and trust across the organisation

If you’re someone who can bridge the gap between governance design and real-world adoption, and you want to build frameworks that actually stick—this is your role.
