We’re supporting a global travel leader in scaling their data governance and data management capability, with a focus on improving data quality, metadata, and regulatory alignment across their data platform.
They are looking for a Junior Data Governance Manager to join their London-based team, working closely with data, product, and business stakeholders.
The Role
This is not a data engineering role – the focus is on data governance, quality, and management across a large-scale, data-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities

Required Experience
- Experience in data governance, data management, or data quality roles
- Strong understanding of:
- Data quality
- Metadata
- Data lineage
- Hands-on exposure to tools such as:
- Collibra (key)
- Monte Carlo (desirable)
- Strong working knowledge of SQL and/or Python
- Experience working in cloud data environments
Nice to Have
- Exposure to AI tools (e.g. Claude)
- Experience in large, data-driven organisations
- Background in travel, e-commerce, or digital platforms
- Awareness of Snowflake (beneficial, not essential)
Important
- This role requires careful level alignment – suited to candidates with solid governance experience stepping into a broader ownership role
- Not suited to pure data engineers
Why Apply?
- Work within a high-impact data governance function
- Be part of a globally recognised digital business
- Opportunity to grow into a more senior data management role
- Competitive day rate outside IR35
