Job summary

Eurocell plc is recruiting a Data Manager for our Head Office in South Normanton, Derbyshire on a 12‑month fixed‑term contract. You will contribute to the design and delivery of the organisation's data architecture and data governance foundations.

In a small project team, you will lead the development of the data improvement layer, establishing standards, structures, policies and data management practices that support all workstreams in the operating model redesign.

Qualifications

• Proven experience designing and implementing data governance frameworks and data architecture in medium to complex organisations.

• Act as the central point of data expertise for the operating model project, identifying data-related risks, dependencies and improvement opportunities across all workstreams.
• Translate operating model design decisions into practical data management requirements (data quality, master data, metadata, lineage, integration).
• Work closely with IT, business stakeholders and workstream leads to ensure data considerations are embedded in process, system and organisational design changes.
• Produce clear governance artefacts (e.g. policies, RACI, standards) that can be adopted and sustained by the business post-project.
