<p><strong>Data Governance Manager - 95-115k - Commodities Trading - City of London (Hybrid Working) </strong></p><p><strong>About Us</strong></p><p>We are a London-based international commodities trading, investments, and risk management firm, regulated by the FCA. With ambitious growth plans in financial services, we are investing heavily in data as a key enabler of our future success. We are currently undertaking a five-year programme to transition from legacy systems to modern, cloud-based technologies.</p><p>Our Microsoft-based technology stack (including Azure and Purview) underpins this transformation, and we are building a forward-thinking data governance capability that delivers value, ensures compliance, and supports innovation.</p><p><strong>The Role</strong></p><p>We are seeking an experienced Data Governance Manager to lead the build-out of our data governance framework. This is a new and highly visible role, reporting into the Head of Operational Resilience, DPO & DCO.</p><p>Unlike traditional governance roles, this position is hands-on and delivery-focused. You will work closely with stakeholders across trading, risk, operations, and technology to embed pragmatic governance practices that support efficiency, compliance, and business growth-without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.</p><p>Initially, there are no direct line management responsibilities, but as the function grows into a fully operational, cross-business BAU service, the role will expand.
