About the Role
Join a premier Australian financial services institution at a pivotal stage in its data governance uplift.
Reporting to the senior data governance leader, you will design and implement controls across business units and existing processes. You’ll work with senior business stakeholders, architecture and transformation teams to translate governance expectations into clear accountabilities, practical processes and controls that are adopted across the organisation.
Your background may span data governance, business analysis, data management, technology risk or transformation. What matters is your ability to engage the business, navigate complexity and turn requirements into implemented controls.

Key Responsibilities

- Design and document data governance controls, accountabilities and evidence requirements.
- Partner with business, architecture and transformation teams to embed controls in existing processes and new initiatives.
- Facilitate workshops to assess current practices, agree requirements and drive implementation.
- Configure and maintain control artefacts within the GRC system.
- Work with control owners to progress implementation, resolve barriers and monitor adoption.
- Develop practical guidance that strengthens understanding and accountability across the business.

Skills & Experience Required

- Experience in data, business analysis, governance, risk and controls, process improvement or transformation.
- A record of translating requirements into controls, processes or operating practices that are implemented and adopted.
- Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, including confidence working with senior business and technical teams.
- The ability to facilitate productive workshops, map processes, clarify ownership and drive actions to completion.




- Sound understanding of how data is managed, shared and used across an organisation.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with the judgement to make complex requirements clear and actionable.
- A relevant tertiary qualification or equivalent professional experience.

Experience with privacy, technology risk, compliance frameworks or GRC systems will be valued. We’re interested in professionals whose experience equips them to make enterprise data governance effective in practice.

What’s On Offer

- Hybrid, adaptable working arrangements balancing work from home with modern CBD office facilities.
- Direct exposure to enterprise data governance and high-profile data strategies.
- A values-led culture where your work has visibility and the scope to make a lasting impact.
