As a Data Governance Analyst at Co-op, we’ll look to you to implement and deliver the data governance strategy and policies across the wider business. In this role you’ll work in a hybrid way – splitting your time between home and the office (find out more about our hybrid working policy at colleagues.coop.co.uk/hybrid-working-policy).

• Help to drive cultural change across Co-op in relation to data governance (e.g. data governance artefacts, operating procedures etc)
• Make sure we’re using our data ethically in line with our Co-op Values

This role would suit people who have

• Experience applying effective data governance across multiple teams in an agile environment
• Experience working in a regulated environment or data-centred organisation
• Experience building reports and presentations, and a good understanding of data policy
• Great Microsoft Office skills (including Teams, SharePoint etc)
• Good communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to influence and challenge people inclusively
