Lead enterprise data governance at Anglian Water 

As our most senior data governance leader, you'll set strategy and drive adoption of data governance and management policies, standards, and stewardship so data is treated as a strategic asset across processes, analytics, and regulatory needs.

You'll identify opportunities for automation and AI that raise governance effectiveness without adding friction.

  • Lead and develop the data governance team; ensure consistent practices across domains, with quality, metadata and lineage in place.

  • Oversee external/open data acquisition, licensing and sharing; ensure compliant, ethical usage. 

  • Drive data community engagement, stewardship and literacy; align with other digital communities. 

  • Monitor regulations and technology trends; introduce automation to scale assurance and reduce manual effort.

  • Expert in recognised governance frameworks; confident standard-setter and advocate. 

  • Strong people leadership; grows capability and drives consistent, outcomes-focused execution. 

  • Engaging communicator who bridges technical and non-technical stakeholders. 

  • Pragmatic, risk-based judgement on regulatory compliance and ethics.

  • Degree (or equivalent) with senior experience leading enterprise data governance.
