Job Description

We're building something unprecedented: the UK's largest mobile network, created through the merger of Vodafone and Three, and designed to redefine coverage, connectivity and customer experience nationwide. This is one of those rare career moments where you can feel the scale of change - where you're not just shaping a company, but helping to build a culture and legacy that will set new industry standards. In this role, you'll accelerate how teams launch and operate data products safely by embedding governance, guardrails and risk to value thinking into the heart of our platforms and processes. You'll own the operating rhythm for data risk, define enterprise governance KPIs, and lead the narrative into senior forums, ensuring threats translate into meaningful controls. With two direct reports, you'll set direction, remove blockers and orchestrate cross department alignment, partnering closely with AI, Data Science, Privacy, Cyber, Platform, BI and commercial teams across the UK. You'll also shape the future of our combined tech stack, influencing investment decisions and driving adoption of key systems such as Collibra, Satori, Dataplex and enterprise governance forums as we build a best in class data ecosystem.

Job Responsibility

  • Lead the execution of the UK Data Governance & Risk strategy, defining KPIs that balance delivery speed with enterprise grade safety and compliance
  • Shape and deliver executive level risk storytelling, providing a single, coherent view of data risks and their commercial and regulatory impact into senior forums
  • Translate emerging risks into practical governance and guardrails, approving standards and driving rapid control design and rollout across key platforms (GCP, EDW, Satori, Collibra, Tableau/Strategy)
  • Influence and mature the federated data operating model, strengthening business ownership and stewardship while removing bottlenecks through targeted enablement
  • Champion automation across workflows, lineage, data quality and access orchestration, prioritising investments that reduce manual effort and accelerate cycle times
  • Partner with Operations, Quality, Privacy, Cyber, Platform and Analytics teams to embed governance into everyday delivery and ensure safe, scalable data product development
  • Maintain strong relationships with auditors and regulators, ensuring governance practices stand up to scrutiny and support a best in class risk posture

Requirements

  • Strong commercial influence, able to shape business narratives that articulate the value of governance, compliance and data driven risk reduction
  • Deep experience designing and embedding data risk management frameworks, ideally aligned to enterprise risk functions
  • Proven leadership in federated governance models, driving behavioural change and accountability across diverse functions
  • Solid understanding of platform level guardrails, including Collibra, Satori, GCP IAM/access patterns and BI tooling
  • Highly outcome focused, translating policy into measurable service levels, adoption targets and tangible improvements in delivery speed and safety
  • Skilled at simplifying complexity, enabling teams to adopt governance practices without friction and with clear business benefit

What we offer

  • Excellent basic salary plus bonus and Vodafone benefits
  • Up to 28 days off plus bank holidays
  • Paid time for charity work
  • Discounts
  • Vouchers
  • Pension plan
  • Learning tools
  • Top-notch parental leave policies
