• Conduct training and engagement sessions to uplift organisational data governance capability and champion the message that everyone plays a role in responsible data management.
• Contribute to the design and operationalization of data quality rules and support ongoing monitoring and issue remediation with data owners and stewards.
• Partner with technology teams to embed governance into data flows and solution architecture while ensuring requirements are practical, feasible, and aligned with system design.
