Data Governance Manager joining a data leadership team at Funding Circle. Advocating for data ownership, quality, and literacy in supporting small businesses.
Responsibilities
Operationalise Ownership: You work directly with engineering and product squads to define and implement what it means to "own" a data domain.
Implement the "Data as a Product" culture: hold teams accountable on treating data with the same rigor as software - including versioning, data contracts, SLAs/SLOs, and clear documentation.
Hands-on Quality Frameworks: Don't just set standards; implement them. You’ll own defining data quality dimensions (accuracy, completeness, freshness) and setting up automated monitoring.
Define and own the Metadata Strategy: Lead the effort in making our data discoverable.
You’ll ensure our data catalog is a living and breathing resource for the whole company.
Pragmatic Governance: Create a balance between governance to ensure security and privacy without slowing down the pace of innovation.
Bridge Technical & Legal Compliance: Partner closely with the Legal team to translate complex privacy regulations into actionable technical processes.
Requirements
Passionate about Funding Circle’s values and the mission to support small businesses with their finance needs.
Subject matter expertise: ideally you have a finance or credit card background working in data analytics or data governance.
Proficiency in SQL and a good understanding in modern data stacks (e.g., Snowflake, dbt, Airflow) as well as how governance tools integrate into a CI/CD workflow.
Exceptional "translator" skill: You can talk about data contracts with engineering and ROI with product, being able to move confidently between those worlds.
Benefits
Flexibility: We provide a benefit allowance you can tailor to your own life and family.
Health: This includes private medical and dental, health assessments, and access to a digital GP.
Wealth: We offer life assurance, share schemes, and financial coaching.
Development: You get a dedicated annual learning allowance to help you level up.
Lifestyle: We have electric car and cycle-to-work schemes, plus season ticket loans.
