Manchester, United Kingdom Manchester Digital Full time
Leading Data Governance at Manchester Digital

You will join our CDDO and Data Strategy and Standards (DS&S) Directorate at an exciting time as we build a new data governance and policy function and establish a Data Architecture Design Authority to sit alongside the established Data Standards Authority.

At DS&S, we aim to improve services for end users and enhance how new policies are developed through the effective use and reuse of data. This will involve tackling complex or complicated problems to deliver on the commitments in the National Data Strategy and DS&S's forward plan. You'll be working with colleagues from other government departments, as well as external partners, and challenging others to be ambitious in transforming the way data is used and shared across government to help deliver joined-up, trusted, public services that meet the needs of their users.

As the Head of Reference and Master Data Management, you will:

  • Act as a senior advisor on best practice reference and master data development, able to deploy multiple levers to ensure the best outcomes.
  • Develop a clear government roadmap and plan for the use of reference and master data.
  • Develop a strong market intelligence and horizon scanning function.
  • Represent the programme with internal and external senior digital leaders and policy advisors.
  • Be part of the DS&S senior team, partnering with them to lead the delivery of the long-term vision and near-term strategy for the programme, reflecting strategic requirements of the whole of government, fitting with wider public sector domains, and keeping pace with technology innovation.
  • Ensure stakeholders across government are both informed about and consulted on priorities, progress, and plans, understanding the strategic importance of making effective use of data standards to meet their business goals.
  • Lead the DS&S Reference and Master Data function, further developing its structure, capability, and ways of working.
  • Experience of leading work on data strategy and frameworks development, particularly in relation to reference and master data.
  • Excellent communication and writing skills.
  • Strong interpersonal skills, including relationship building, listening, and influencing, with an ability to build effective relationships with senior management and operate successfully in a political or complex environment.
  • Demonstrable awareness of the whole of government's digital and data strategy context.
  • A robust understanding and care about the value of data and technology to transform lives, committed to working with colleagues in all digital disciplines, as well as those in more traditional government roles.
  • An understanding of agile delivery and development best practices.
  • Strong experience of team leadership, recruitment, line management, and coaching staff.

This is a key role for Manchester Digital, requiring a highly skilled and experienced individual to lead our data governance efforts.
