Hybrid

We are currently looking for a Head of Data Governance to join our team based out of our London office.

The role is accountable for developing and embedding a practical, proportionate and sustainable approach to data governance, data quality and data management across AmTrust Specialty. The role will work in close partnership with business functions to understand how data is created, used and controlled, and to improve those arrangements incrementally without creating unnecessary bureaucracy or impeding delivery.

While this role has a strong policy, strategy and committee element, it is equally importantly focused on being hands‑on, practical and collaborative in helping to develop sound data management and governance practices across the business.

To be successful in this role, you will have substantial experience developing and implementing data governance, data‑quality or data‑management capabilities in a regulated organisation, preferably general insurance.
