- Help define and improve data ownership, stewardship and accountability
- Support data quality initiatives, investigations and remediation activities
- Maintain governance documentation, policies, standards and reporting

About you
We're looking for someone who enjoys working with people just as much as they enjoy working with data.
You'll likely have experience in data governance, data quality, data management or a similar discipline, and be comfortable engaging with stakeholders across different teams.
You'll bring:
- Strong organisational and documentation skills
- An eye for detail and a passion for doing things properly
- Confidence coordinating actions and keeping initiatives moving forward
- The ability to simplify complex information and communicate it clearly
- An understanding of concepts such as data ownership, stewardship, metadata, lineage and data quality
- A collaborative approach and confidence challenging constructively when needed
- Bonus points if you've worked with governance or data quality tools, have experience in retail or regulated environments, or have exposure to data protection, information security or AI readiness programmes.

Whether you're helping improve data quality, influencing governance standards or supporting better decision-making, you'll play an important role in helping us create a better future for pets and the people who love them.
