Data Management Manager in Halifax

Location: Leeds, Edinburgh, or Halifax

Hours: Full-time, 35 hours per week

Working Pattern: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites. Colleagues with disabilities can be supported with workplace adjustments including hybrid working expectations in line with our Flexibility Works policy.

What you're doing: This role involves a key responsibility in advancing how data is handled, governed, and applied across the Group. You will work alongside data management colleagues to maintain alignment with Group standards and assist in following internal data policies and external regulatory frameworks, including BCBS239, which is critical for this role. You’ll play a role in improving data quality and governance through data analysis, producing clear reports, and seeing opportunities to improve how data is captured, managed, and applied to aid better decision making. This involves facilitating full data lineage, supporting data quality improvements, and helping establish consistent processes and controls that support internal and external compliance. As a member of the Risk Data Excellence team, you will serve as a reliable contact for data-related matters. You will offer mentorship, constructive feedback, and clear communication to various collaborators. Additionally, you will assist with compliance tasks and promote simplification and efficiency in processes. This ensures data supports accurate reports to the Board and regulators and delivers better results for customers and the business.

What we're looking for:

• At least 5 years’ experience in data management, data governance or a related field
• Solid background in managing data quality, understanding data lineage, and analysing data, with the capability to transform insights into actionable enhancements
• Confident collaborator management skills, with the ability to clearly explain complex data concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
• A solutions-focused approach with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage priorities and work independently
• Knowledge of risk and control frameworks and the confidence to provide effective challenge on data, systems and process changes

And any experience of these would be great:

• Experience working with regulatory frameworks such as BCBS239
• Familiarity with data governance tools such as Collibra or Ataccama
• Experience using Power BI or other reporting/visualisation tools
• Understanding of large, complex organisational environments (e.g. financial services)

We know that great talent comes from many backgrounds. Whilst this job advert may reference specific years of experience, we recognise that skills are developed in many ways, so if you have relevant, transferable experience, we encourage you to apply.

This is a place for you: Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities and we’re committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn, and develop.

Benefits: We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
• An annual performance-related bonus
• Share schemes including free shares
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
• 30 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top
• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
