Data Governance & Quality Manager

Does driving better data quality and governance across a large, complex organisation excite you?

Join a team where your expertise in data quality, governance, and continuous improvement will shape how data supports business decisions and services across the organisation.

I’m working with a leading Housing Association to recruit for a Data Quality Improvement Manager. This is a key role within their technology and corporate services function.

In this role, you’ll take the lead on enhancing the quality, integrity, and reliability of data across the organisation. You’ll ensure data quality standards are defined, implemented, and maintained in line with the governance framework.

You’ll collaborate across Risk, Compliance, and IT Security to embed data governance and quality management practices, while promoting awareness and accountability across the business. You’ll support the rollout of the data domain map, helping business teams adopt robust data quality and metadata management frameworks.

A large part of your work will involve monitoring data quality metrics and KPIs, configuring workflows and rules, and maintaining a central log of data issues. You’ll analyse root causes, drive remediation, and ensure issues are escalated appropriately.

You’ll also co-chair the monthly Data Governance Forum, bringing together Data Owners, Stewards, and Technical Specialists to maintain alignment and focus on improvement.

The role also plays a key part in data migration initiatives, particularly for acquisitions, ensuring data is profiled and validated against standards and that anomalies are resolved efficiently.

You’ll be a great fit if you have proven experience implementing data governance and data quality initiatives in a complex business.

You’ll have solid knowledge of data quality principles, metadata management, and master data management, along with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Excellent communication and stakeholder management are essential, this is a role that blends hands-on technical work with influence, collaboration, and leadership across teams.

The salary on offer is £66,000 with a great benefits package

This is a hybrid role, typically 3 days per week onsite in Worcestershire and offers the opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking organisation that takes data seriously.

If you’re looking for a role where you can make a tangible impact on how data is governed, improved, and trusted across the business, this is a fantastic opportunity to do just that.
