You will design and implement data governance frameworks, shape data models and architectures that support governance objectives, and translate strategy into operational initiatives that deliver measurable improvements in data quality, compliance and resiliency.

The team you will be part of
You will be part of our Data Architecture team, working closely with a broader Architect community, data owners, data stewards and cross‑functional delivery teams to ensure our data practices are robust, scalable and aligned with our Data Strategy. You will focus on both analytics tools and the systems that run core business processes, and work in close collaboration with our Data Governance Lead.

In the Data Architecture team, we work collaboratively, pragmatic and outcome‑oriented. We value clear communication, shared ownership, and fast iteration, combining strategic thinking and able to accomplish tasks. Our aspiration is to make data governance an enabler for innovation, AI, and reliable decision-making across GN.

Your contribution is appreciated, and you will:

• Assess the current state of data governance and define roadmaps to close those gaps in alignment with our goals and Data Strategy
• Develop and implement data governance frameworks, policies and procedures that ensure high data quality and regulatory compliance
• Oversee the design and implementation of relevant tooling to support data governance activities, such as data catalogues
• Design data models and architectures that support governance objectives and enable data integrations and accessibility across systems
• Collaborate closely with the architect community, data owners and data stewards to align governance initiatives with business needs and technology roadmaps
• Identify and mitigate data risks, enforce privacy and security standards, and contribute to data resiliency planning
• Design and implement data quality assurance processes and tooling to monitor and improve data reliability and resiliency
• Provide training, guidance and support to stakeholders and teams on governance practices, tools and responsibilities

To perform well in the role, we imagine that you

• Hold a degree in Engineering, IT, Business or another related field
• Are a solution‑focused architect who both advises and delivers on operational tasks
• Excel at stakeholder management and bridge architects, data owners, stewards and delivery teams
• Translate complex technical and regulatory requirements into practical business solutions
• Are execution‑oriented, turning insight into delivery
• Prior exposure to data governance in AI contexts can be relevant as these topics often occur
