• Implement and maintain enterprise-wide data governance frameworks, policies, standards, and a data catalogue in line with Digital & IT practices.
• Support the establishment of data ownership and accountability across business units, including governance of master data domains.
• Identify data quality risks and lead clean-up and remediation initiatives to ensure data is accurate, complete, and reliable.
• Drive data standardization across the organization — including naming conventions, taxonomies, and data classification — and maintain data lineage to ensure data is traceable across systems.
• Oversee data lifecycle management, including retention, archival, and secure disposal of data in line with regulatory requirements.
• Work closely with Enterprise Architecture and the Data Platform team on data standards, architecture decisions, and system implementations.
• Support the data readiness roadmap for AI, working with the Data Analytics & AI team to ensure data is well-governed and fit for purpose.

Your work will support real decisions, real assets, and real operational outcomes

 

What you'll gain

• Professional growth through ownership, exposure, and meaningful contribution from day one
• Ability to work cross-functionally and influence without direct authority

• Proven experience (5+ years) in data management, data governance, or a closely related function
• Track record of designing and implementing data governance frameworks in complex, multi-country organizations
• Background in Master Data Management (MDM) and data lifecycle management
• Experience in the renewables or energy sector is an advantage
