Technical Business Analyst (Data Governance)
As a Tech BA, you will act as the critical link between business and technology teams, working across multiple data streams to support the definition, documentation, and implementation of data governance practices. You will collaborate closely with data architects, governance leads, and business stakeholders to uplift enterprise-wide data capabilities.
This role requires strong data literacy, an understanding of governance principles, and a background in technology-led projects. You'll bring 4–5 years of experience, with exposure to data-related programs, ideally within regulated or asset-intensive industries.

Create clear and actionable documentation: business requirements, process flows, data dictionaries, and governance models.
Support change management and stakeholder engagement to embed a culture of data accountability and transparency.
Collaborate with technical teams to ensure governance models align with data platforms and architecture.
