To succeed, you will need proven experience in leading teams on institutional-wide processes that have had a strategic influence and impact on a university or universities. You will also need the specialist knowledge it takes to drive data governance discussions on activities that include topics like training, culture and reporting. The confidence to build and lead a new Data Governance team while working across a new directorate to create synergies with various service areas, academic units and professional services is important too.
