Data Governance Analyst

We are looking for a hands-on Data Governance Analyst to join a team responsible for strengthening the way data is managed, trusted, and used across the organisation. This is a practitioner-level role suited to someone with 3 to 5 years of experience in data governance, data quality, or data management — someone who enjoys working at the intersection of policy, process, and data.

What You'll Do

• Support the development, maintenance, and operationalisation of data governance frameworks, policies, and standards
• Act as a steward for key data domains — working with business and technical stakeholders to define, document, and enforce data definitions and ownership
• Monitor and report on data quality metrics, investigate issues at the source, and drive remediation efforts in partnership with data owners
• Maintain and continuously improve the organisation's data catalogue and business glossary, ensuring metadata is accurate, complete, and accessible
• Facilitate data governance working groups and forums, tracking decisions, action items, and policy adoption across teams
• Support data lineage mapping initiatives to improve transparency around how data flows through the organisation
• Contribute to data governance assessments and gap analyses, translating findings into actionable recommendations
• Collaborate with technology, compliance, and risk teams to ensure data governance practices remain aligned with regulatory and internal requirements

What We're Looking For

• 3 to 5 years of experience in a data governance, data quality, or data management function
• Familiarity with data governance frameworks and industry standards (e.g. DAMA-DMBOK)
• Hands-on experience with data cataloguing tools and metadata management platforms
• Working knowledge of data quality dimensions and how to operationalise them in an enterprise setting
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills — comfortable facilitating conversations across business and technical audiences
• Detail-oriented with good documentation habits and an ability to translate complex data concepts into clear, accessible language
• Experience in a regulated industry is an advantage
