• Monitor and improve data quality through profiling, cleansing, and enrichment strategies.
• Ensure compliance with data and AI governance policies and relevant regulations.
• Analyse data to identify trends and provide insights that support better governance.
• Participate in governance committees and working groups to promote best practices.
• Stay up to date with industry trends and emerging technologies in data and AI governance.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in a data governance or data management role.
• Strong understanding of data governance frameworks and best practices.
• Familiarity with AI concepts and ethical AI principles.
• Proficiency in tools like SQL, Snowflake, Power BI, and SharePoint.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset and a keen eye for detail.
• Knowledge of relevant regulations (e.g. DPA 2018, CCPA) is a plus.
• Professional certifications (e.g. CDMP, DGSP, BCS, IDM) are desirable.
