Data Governance Manager

Data & Governance Lead - 14-Month FTC (Mat Cover) - Hybrid (2 days in Manchester City Center) - £56,700p.a. + Benefits

We’re looking for an experienced Data & Governance Lead to take ownership of governance, compliance and data integrity across a critical, corner stone Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM environment.

This is a highly visible role sitting within an Enterprise Applications team, focused on ensuring systems remain secure, compliant, audit-ready and fit for future growth. Including the evolving use of AI, Copilot and Power Platform technologies.

• Leading governance across Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform and related systems
• Ensuring continuous audit readiness across GDPR, ISO
  27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus
• Owning governance processes including access controls, data retention and risk management
• Acting as the key governance SME for CRM data and enterprise applications
• Partnering with Data Stewards, Functional Leads and project teams to drive accountability and best practice
• Supporting the organisation’s evolving AI and Copilot governance approach
• Driving continuous improvement across governance policies, controls and processes

• Strong experience in data and systems governance within enterprise environments
• Excellent understanding of GDPR, ISO
  27001 and governance best practice
• Experience managing audits and maintaining audit-ready controls
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the confidence to challenge when needed
• Highly organised with a structured, proactive approach
• Ideally experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and/or Power Platform environments preferred

• Strategic, high-impact governance role
• Opportunity to shape AI and Power Platform governance
• Collaborative, evolving technology environment
• Hybrid working with flexibility around onsite days

If you enjoy bringing structure, governance and control to complex enterprise systems, while helping organisations evolve safely and effectively, then this one is for you and we’d love to hear from you.
