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
