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. You'll be working with EA's Product, Engineering, Customer Success and Legal teams to support the company's next step in our growth story.

Key Responsibilities

  • Ensure the data governance frameworks are implemented company-wide by providing hands-on assistance and training to business units.
  • Collaborate with product, technology and other stakeholders across the business to drive data stewardship and accountability.
  • 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. These groups create a collegial and dynamic atmosphere that extends beyond work, promoting a healthy and balanced lifestyle for our team.

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. Our compensation packages encompass a yearly bonus, participation in a company share options scheme, private health insurance, life assurance, income protection, pension contributions, subsidised gym memberships, and holiday allowance.

Join a company that values your professional growth and personal fulfilment, all within a supportive and engaging environment.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.
