Multiple Data Governance Positions – Interim

We are currently recruiting on behalf of a major banking client for a number of Data Governance Analysts at various corporate levels to play key roles in an ongoing Data Transformation Programme.

The ideal candidate will have knowledge of Data Governance, BCBS239, ECB onboarding and Operational Risk management practices.

This is a strategic opportunity for an experienced professional to contribute to the development and execution of the EMEA Data Strategy within a growing Data Office.

The successful candidate will work closely with stakeholders across the organisation, providing critical support to enhance data governance practices—particularly within the Risk and Finance domains. As some data governance principles are still maturing within the organisation, the role will also require an individual with strong influencing skills and the ability to educate stakeholders at all levels on the importance of data governance and management.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the implementation of data governance activities across Risk and Finance domains in alignment with BCBS239 regulatory standards.
  • Take ownership of data definition, lineage, and governance for priority use cases, ensuring end-to-end oversight.
  • Monitor changes in business data requirements, coordinating change and release management processes across data domains.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to develop and promote adoption of EMEA-wide data standards and governance frameworks.
  • Investigate data quality issues and support the development of remediation strategies to address root causes.
  • Champion a culture of data accountability, driving improvements in architecture, management, and quality practices.
  • Contribute to the broader transformation efforts led by the EMEA Data Office, which span cultural, behavioural, procedural, and systems-based change.

Key Requirements:

  • Deep knowledge of data governance, data quality, and data analysis techniques, particularly within the context of Risk and Finance.
  • Strong understanding of BCBS239 regulations and their application within Tier 1 or Tier 2 banking environments.
  • Proven experience engaging and influencing senior stakeholders, including executive and board-level communication.
  • Expertise in complex data structures, with a strong grasp of Risk and Finance data calculations and domain knowledge.
  • Familiarity with enterprise-level data management principles, including logical, physical, and business data modelling.
  • Analytical thinker with a track record of delivering effective, practical solutions.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Visio, and PowerPoint, with experience in business process modelling.
  • Collaborative team player with the capability to work independently when required.
  • Professional presence, excellent communication, and strong presentation skills.
  • Prior exposure to Collibra or similar data governance tools is highly advantageous.

Desirable Skills:

  • Experience supporting ECB onboarding initiatives.
  • Familiarity with data visualisation and collaboration tools such as Power BI, Tableau, and SharePoint.
  • Exposure to technical tools including SQL, Python, R, and data engineering frameworks.
  • Understanding of data-related regulatory compliance and emerging trends within the data management space.

Neurodiversity in Data Science Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Data science is all about turning messy, real-world information into decisions, products & insights. It sits at the crossroads of maths, coding, business & communication – which means it needs people who see patterns, ask unusual questions & challenge assumptions. That makes data science a natural fit for many neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & thinking about a data science career, you might have heard comments like “you’re too distracted for complex analysis”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too disorganised for large projects”. In reality, the same traits that can make traditional environments difficult often line up beautifully with data science work. This guide is written for data science job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a data science context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common data science roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in data science – & how to turn “different thinking” into a real career advantage.

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

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.
