Description du poste

A multinational defence organisation is putting its data governance on a proper footing. This is the role that runs it week by week: the board, the packages that go to it, the decisions that come out of it, and the indicators that show whether any of it is working.

What You Would Be Doing

• Chairing the weekly data governance board — planning it, running it, and closing it with clear decisions, actions and named owners.
• Preparing the submission packages that go to that board, and confirming each one is complete and mature enough to be decided on rather than deferred.
• Recording proceedings properly: decisions, actions, owners and deadlines, distributed to the people they bind and stored where they stay traceable.
• Tracking and reporting data governance indicators and data quality measures every week, and naming the performance gaps and their root causes rather than the numbers alone.
• Checking that the mandatory governance artefacts are actually collected against the board's terms of reference, and reporting what is missing or out of date.
• Supervising the working group that prepares decision and recommendation packages, so what reaches the board has already been worked.
• Proposing and tracking the corrective and improvement actions that follow from all of it.

What you would bring

• Data governance in practice, not in theory: running boards, owning artefacts, chasing owners and keeping a register that people trust.
• Chairing meetings where technical and non-technical stakeholders have to reach a decision.
• Defining and reporting data quality and governance indicators, and turning them into actions somebody is accountable for.
• Data source onboarding — the procedures, the evidence, the sequence in which it has to happen.
• Writing that holds up as a record: minutes, recommendations, submission packages.
• Fluent professional English.
