London, Greater London, United Kingdom BBC Full time
Job Introduction
The BBC has been serving audiences online for more than 20 years.

Across key products including BBC iPlayer, BBC News and BBC Sport, BBC Weather, and now BBC Sounds, we entertain, educate and inform audiences in their millions every day.

But behind the scenes, however, we have work to do.

We are making the shift from being a broadcaster that speaks to our audiences to being a service that is shaped by them and designed around their wants and needs.

We are creating personalised products and services that bring the right content, to the right people, at the right times - a personalised BBC.

It will be our greatest leap since iPlayer, and that's why it is right at the top of our agenda.

To achieve our mission of being a Digital First BBC, we are building a data organisation
which will lead cultural and organisational change.

This includes transitioning the BBC to a data product organisation, evolving our data architecture and embedding data capabilities company wide.

To help us progress along this journey we have created the new role of Head of Data Governance.

This role will report to the Director of Data in Product Group to ensure close business alignment and organisational cut through.

  • Work closely with the wider data leadership team to implement your strategy alongside ongoing data and business initiatives, ensuring high quality data delivery.
  • Build a wide network of stakeholders across the BBC to educate and excite on the topic while engaging with data users to drive improvements in data stewardship, quality, and management.
  • You will help shape the BBC Data Fluency programme covering communications and data upskilling this will include working with leadership across the BBC to define data personas, set a baseline and targets as well as choosing the right training providers and tooling.
  • Recruit, lead and develop further data governance roles as we build out the data organisation.
  • You are passionate about unlocking the benefits of accurate, available data to drive measurable business impact with insights and data products.
  • You have a proven track record of successfully introducing and leading a Data Governance function to drive cultural change.
  • You possess strong influencing and networking skills to help build and foster strong business relationships with stakeholders.
  • Good knowledge of key analytical tools & languages (SQL, Adobe, Google Analytics, Tableau, Databricks).
  • You thrive working collaboratively and proactively in a fastpaced environment alongside product owners, scientists, analysts, and engineers.
  • You have fantastic communication skills and can facilitate discussions across teams and with senior business stakeholders.
  • You communicate effectively to all business levels clearly, confidently and concisely.
  • You actively engage in continuous innovation with a strong desire to continue learning in order to stay relevant to business changes and industry trends
