We are looking for an innovative Data Governance Lead to join our London (Canary Wharf) office. In this pivotal role, you will shape and deliver a forward-thinking data governance strategy, with an initial focus on our customer-facing products. You’ll take the lead in standardising metadata and data aggregations, managing data access rights, and driving the automation of data standards across the business. The ideal candidate will be pragmatic, with a deep understanding of real-world data challenges that are addressed with hands-on work, and not only data governance theory.

  • Oversee data lifecycle management, including data classification, retention, and disposal.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) and industry standards.
  • Establish and monitor data quality metrics, reporting on data issues and driving continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Provide guidance and training to teams on data governance best practices.
  • Work closely with Technology, Legal, Risk, and business units to manage data risks and resolve data-related issues.
  • Champion a data-driven culture, promoting the value of high-quality data for business intelligence and analytics.

Requirements
  • Prior experience in Data Governance/Management or similar role in a commodities/energy or financial markets company
  • Experience with Data Governance/Management tooling/frameworks e.g. Alation, others
  • Experience managing the end-to-end project lifecycle
  • Familiarity with SQL, Python and similar tools, ideally with some hands-on experience
  • Familiarity with licensing, entitlement and data access management
  • Understanding of the software development lifecycle concepts (development, testing, release management, production/development environments)

Desirable skills


  • Experience defining commodity- or energy-centric data ontologies
  • Experience working with commodity, energy or financial market data in an analytical role
  • Experience with utilising AI for productivity in Data Governance/Data Management

Culture & benefits

Welcome to our unique workplace where a passion for our industry-leading product sits at the heart of who we are.


Life at EA is completely eclectic, fostered through the global nature of the business and a real appreciation of the many cultures of our diverse team. We unite as a single, cohesive team through an array of social clubs that cater to a spectrum of interests, from running and yoga to football and culinary adventures.

Located in Canary Wharf with convenient access around London, our location offers nearby amenities such as shopping, gyms, dining, and lively bars. We provide daily refreshments, including fruit, hot drinks, snacks, and the expert services of an in-house barista twice a week, along with occasional exotic treats inspired by our global adventures.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
