Overview

Our client, a highly respected company in the financial services industry, is seeking an experienced Information Governance Specialist for a two‑year contract role.

This is a strategic opportunity to lead the design and implementation of governance frameworks that ensure secure, compliant, and value‑driven information use across a complex organisation.

You will play a key role in developing and executing information governance strategies, establishing policy and process frameworks, enabling organisational awareness, and embedding governance practices into day‑to‑day operations — including support for AI governance initiatives.

This role is ideal for a proactive, strategic thinker with deep technical knowledge and strong influencing skills.

If you are ready to shape the future of information governance in a dynamic regulatory setting — we want to hear from you.

Requirements

  • Proven ability to engage stakeholders and drive cultural change around information use and security

Core Responsibilities

  • Conduct maturity assessments of information governance and security across the organisation
  • Develop and implement governance standards, processes, and procedures aligned to strategic objectives
  • Update and maintain tools and methodologies supporting the information strategy
  • Facilitate information sharing agreements, classification alignment, and vetting protocols
  • Embed governance practices into business processes, project lifecycles, and analysis frameworks
  • Define and track metrics to monitor governance effectiveness and support compliance
  • Build organisational capability through training, enablement, and stakeholder engagement
  • Guide integration of AI governance into broader information governance processes
  • Support remediation efforts and provide ongoing advisory services across business units
  • Contribute to the development of artefacts such as data dictionaries, glossaries, catalogues, and lineage
