You'll work across the business to establish, deliver, uplift, and train teams on enterprise data management procedures and processes.
In this dynamic role you will:
* Develop, document, and maintain data quality processes and standards aligned to GHD's data management strategy, and drive adoption in line with the Data Management Office vision.

* Develop training guides and documentation for data quality processes and tools; provide training to business units on data quality standards and best practices.
* Ensure periodic review and upkeep of all data quality management policies, processes, and artefacts.
* Help drive proactive data quality and data observability initiatives across GHD data assets, spanning the Data Lake/Warehouse and other applications.
* Develop and maintain an enterprise data quality rule repository, and mentor technical stewards in creating business‑unit‑specific data quality controls.
* Partner closely with the Data Management Architect (Reports to) and broader data leadership to ensure alignment with enterprise data goals.
What you will bring to the team:
* Outstanding communication capabilities, with a record of effectively engaging and influencing stakeholders.
* A proven ability to drive change across the organisation, ensuring effective stakeholder engagement aligned to data management goals.
* The ability to articulate a clear vision for data quality programs and maintain an agile mindset for timely execution, even amid the ambiguity of greenfield environments.
* Relevant certifications such as DCAM, CDMP, or other recognised credentials from respected data management bodies/councils.
Qualifications:
* Tertiary degree in Computing, Information Systems, or a related field.
* 6+ years of data quality experience within a large and/or global professional services organisation.
* Demonstrated experience defining and implementing data quality processes, standards, guidelines, and best practices.
* A track record of translating business problems into actionable data quality initiatives.
* Hands‑on experience designing, deploying, and managing data quality procedures and outputs using industry‑standard SaaS platforms such as Informatica (IDMC/IDQ) and Ataccama.
* Solid understanding of adjacent data management disciplines, including metadata management, data lineage, data cataloguing, ownership, and stewardship.
* Experience with Microsoft Azure or other major cloud providers, and exposure to integrating enterprise application suites such as Salesforce, SAP, and Power BI.
