Senior Data Governance Analyst, Data Catalogue, Data Owner, City of London

Senior Data Governance Analyst required to work for a Professional Services firm based in the City of London. This is 4 days in the office (Monday to Thursday and Fridays at home). There may be the opportunity for some Global travel as well.

The Senior Data Governance Analyst is primarily an operational role, to support the implementation, adoption, and use of the Firm’s Data Governance Framework. This includes reference list processes, documentation, and maintaining the firm data catalogue. This role has a strong alignment to, and involvement with, the Firm’s Data Steward community.

This is to assist with the ongoing maturity of the Data function, where Governance will play a huge part. The function is growing and this would be a great time to join the firm. We need someone with a great attitude who will sometimes chair meetings and own certain problems.

We can look at individuals who is currently in a like for like role, or some working as a Business Analyst (for instance) with the focus being around Data & Governance.

3 things that are imperative:

  • You MUST have either owned, or part owned, the Data Catalogue in the past

  • You have to understand the issues backlog. Prioritising and maintaining the problem is absolute key

    Experience required outside of the above:

  • Professional Services experience preferred, but not essential

  • Experience with the likes of Data 360, Collibra or Informatica (or like for like Enterprise Data Governance Platforms)

  • A desire to develop a career and expertise in Data Governance and participate in shaping an evolving capability for the Firm

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to identify and solve complex business problems

  • Experience with data management, data governance, data analytics best practices and techniques

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to bridge the business services / technology divide

  • Proactive self-starter who can self-manage and also work as part of team, with the ability to work in a fast paced, intellectually rigorous environment

  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to simultaneously manage multiple tasks and priorities

  • Business report writing capabilities, including drafting communication and/or user stories, use cases, and functional requirements

  • Experience/Familiarity with Agile and Waterfall project management methodologies

  • Knowledge of metadata management concepts, modelling, tools and standards beneficial

  • Prepared to attend the odd call that falls outside of the usual UK working day as this role has Global coverage

    This is a great opportunity and salary is dependent upon experience. Apply now for more details

How Many Data Engineering Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Engineering Job?

If you’re aiming for a career in data engineering, it can feel like you’re staring at a never-ending list of tools and technologies — SQL, Python, Spark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, Redshift, Terraform, Kubernetes, and the list goes on. Scroll job boards and LinkedIn, and it’s easy to conclude that unless you have experience with every modern tool in the data stack, you won’t even get a callback. Here’s the honest truth most data engineering hiring managers will quietly agree with: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can solve real data problems with the tools you know. Tools matter. But only in service of outcomes. Jobs are won by candidates who know why a technology is used, when to use it, and how to explain their decisions. So how many data engineering tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think — but you do need them in the right combination and order. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable and employable rather than overwhelmed.
