• Build engagement with data owner teams, helping them understand the value of AI data readiness and the practical steps needed to improve it.
• Identify readiness gaps across structured and unstructured data, including metadata, tagging, ownership, retention, permissions, evidence, and controls.
• Maintain clear records of data owners, delegated owners, readiness status, remediation actions, evidence, and review cycles.
• Build reporting on progress, risks, issues, dependencies, and project stages, highlighting where decisions or action are needed.
• Present findings, recommendations, and progress updates in a clear and practical way, supporting understanding, adoption, and decision-making.
• Support the Data Governance Lead by turning AI governance requirements into practical delivery plans, embedded processes, and measurable improvements.

Required Skills and Experience:

• Experience with data governance, data management, data quality, records management, risk, compliance, change delivery, or a related delivery role.
• Understanding of data quality, metadata, tagging, retention, ownership, controls, and evidence management.
• Experience coordinating assessments, tracking actions, maintaining records, and following up with stakeholders.
• Experience working with technical and non-technical teams to turn requirements into practical improvements, communicate recommendations, and support adoption.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience

• Understanding of how AI solutions use metadata, tagging, permissions, source data quality, and context signals.
• Experience working with enterprise AI tools, data platforms, knowledge management systems, collaboration tools, document repositories, or data catalogues.
• Experience preparing readiness reports, governance status updates, dashboards, or control evidence.

In Return:

In return, you’ll help define how the organisation manages and connects its data. Improving quality, metadata, tagging, retention, ownership, and controls, while helping teams understand how their data underpins AI solutions.
