Data Transformation Programme (DTP) Data Manager

About the role

The DTP Data Manager will deliver various projects and activities related to the principles and practices of data governance, including co-ordinating with data owners to ensure that data resources are effectively managed through practical data governance solutions and that risks to their security or appropriate onward use are mitigated.

Key responsibilities include:  

• Facilitating the operational implementation of the policies, practices and procedures that comprise the OfS’s data governance framework, aligned to the functionality of a more modern OfS technology stack.
• Cataloguing and monitoring data assets that are essential to the OfS’s operations, including assigning ownership, managing metadata and incorporation of assets into the OfS data model, and implementing relevant safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of the assets.  
• Embedding compliance with the data governance framework into operational analytical and reporting processes, and supporting colleagues to do the same.
• Developing and maintaining processes to log, triage and document data quality and data integrity issues across the data life cycle, including advising decision makers on the values and risks associated with the data asset and its uses.  

About you

The key person attributes to fulfil this role are:   

• Knowledge of best practice in data governance across a large and complex data model, and ability to develop principles, practices and policies that operate an effective data governance framework.
• Experience of implementing and following data governance practices and policies.
• Experience of maintaining data assets and associated documentation for their monitoring and security.
• Ability to maintain a comprehensive and sophisticated knowledge of the OfS’s data and technology.
• Ability to communicate policies and processes to internal and external technical and non-technical audiences.

This is an agile working role, which means the role-holder will be expected to operate and work flexibly across different activities commensurate with this pay band, including undertaking project work to support different components of the DTP or of the OfS’s data functions.
