## Description

We are currently recruiting a Data Manager to assist in the design and delivery of the organisation's data architecture and data governance foundations as part of the wider Operating Model Programme, based at our Head Office in South Normanton, Derbyshire on a 12 Month fixed term contract.

Working closely within a small core project team, you will lead the development of the programme's data improvement layer, establishing the standards, structures, policies and data management practices that support and connect all workstreams within the operating model redesign.

This role is accountable for ensuring that data-related decisions made across the programme are aligned, consistent and technically robust and will provide expert guidance on data governance, data quality, data ownership, master data management and information architecture, ensuring that solutions are designed with long-term sustainability in mind beyond the life of the project.

WHAT OUR DATA MANAGERS DO:

 * Define and lead the data architecture approach required to support the target operating model, ensuring alignment across systems, data domains and workstreams
 * Establish core data governance foundations - ownership, stewardship and custodianship models, data standards and policies - appropriate to the organisation's maturity and needs
 * Act as the central point of data expertise for the operating model project, identifying data-related risks, dependencies and improvement opportunities across all workstreams
 * Translate operating model design decisions into practical data management requirements (data quality, master data, metadata, lineage, integration)
 * Work closely with IT, business stakeholders and workstream leads to ensure data considerations are embedded in process, system and organisational design changes
 * Produce clear governance artefacts (e.g. policies, RACI, standards) that can be adopted and sustained by the business post-project
 * Provide recommendations on the longer-term data organisation structure and capability required to sustain improvements delivered by the project
