Data Governance and Management Specialist
- 12 month FTC
- Hybrid, 2x per week in the central London office
We're partnering with a well-established professional services firm to find a Data Management & Governance Specialist for a newly created 12-month fixed-term contract.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a hands‑on data professional to make a real impact building governance foundations from the ground up within a collaborative, forward‑thinking data team and be the ambassador for data governance within the firm.
The role sits within the Data function, reporting directly to the Head of Data, with a secondary support element to the DPO on an as‑needed basis.
What you’ll be doing- Building and maintaining the firm's data catalogue, metadata, business glossary, and classification framework
- Defining and embedding practical data quality rules in collaboration with data owners and SMEs
- Documenting data lineage and establishing stewardship roles across business teams
- Supporting the rollout and configuration of a Data Catalogue tool
- Partnering with Data Engineering to align datasets with governance standards
- Translating governance concepts into clear, accessible guidance for non‑technical stakeholders
- Providing ad hoc support to the DPO on DPIAs, DSARs, ROPA updates, and incident response
- 2–3+ years in data governance, data management, or data quality roles
- Strong understanding of DAMA-aligned principles: metadata, lineage, ownership, stewardship, and classification
- A pragmatic, value‑driven approach you build what's useful, not what's bureaucratic
- Confident stakeholder engagement skills and the ability to influence without authority
- Comfortable operating in a new and evolving function
