* Lead and coach a small team to deliver governance, information management, and continuous improvement outcomes.
* Improve document and content management practices (from accessibility to disposal), aligning information management with governance requirements and business needs.
Qualifications
* Experience establishing data governance frameworks (standards, roles, forums) and embedding them in business-as-usual.
* Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence data owners and drive shared accountability.
* Working knowledge of data quality, metadata/catalogue practices, master/reference data concepts and data lifecycle management.
* Understanding of data risk domains (privacy, security, retention, access controls) and how to translate them into practical governance controls.
* Practical experience applying DAMA-DMBOK concepts in an operational environment.
* Demonstrated people leadership capability, including coaching and performance support for a small team delivering governance and information management outcomes.
* Experience improving document and content management (classification, retention, discoverability, and access governance) in line with policy and compliance obligations.
