Apply for the Data Governance Manager
Location: Greater London
Job Description:

We’re hiring a Data Governance Manager to help build trusted, well-governed data foundations across a growing, tech-led insurance business. This is a hands‑on role shaping how data supports analytics, AI, and decision‑making across the organisation.

Why this role?

  • Own and deliver a company‑wide data governance strategy.
  • Work in a modern, cloud‑based environment (GCP today – AWS/Azure experience welcome).
  • Shape data ownership, quality, lineage, and access control.
  • Hire and manage a Data Quality Analyst.
  • Hybrid working: 1 day per week in the London office.
  • Salary up to £75,000 plus bonus and benefits.

What you’ll do

  • Design and embed scalable data governance frameworks.
  • Define data domains, ownership, and stewardship with engineering and business teams.
  • Implement standards for data quality, metadata, lineage, and documentation.
  • Support compliance, privacy‑by‑design, and responsible data access.
  • Improve data literacy and governance adoption across teams.

What we’re looking for

  • Experience delivering data governance in modern, cloud‑based data platforms.
  • Strong understanding of metadata‑driven governance and analytics/AI data needs.
  • Experience with data catalogues, quality, and access control tooling.
  • Confident communicator across technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

Nice to have

  • Regulated industry experience (insurance/FS).
  • Exposure to dbt or modern data tooling.

Cloud note

GCP experience is a bonus, not a requirement – strong AWS or Azure backgrounds are welcome.
