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.

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.
