Head of Data & AI Governance

London | Hybrid | Permanent

Data and AI are transforming how organisations operate. This role decides how that transformation happens responsibly.

We're hiring a senior leader to own enterprise‑wide data and AI governance - setting standards, defining accountability and ensuring AI is deployed ethically, securely and at scale.

This is a high‑visibility role with real influence. You'll shape frameworks, guide senior stakeholders and lead how data and AI are governed across the business.

What You'll Own

Enterprise data and AI governance frameworks - policies, standards and controls
Compliance with data protection and AI regulation (GDPR, UK/EU AI frameworks)
Data quality, stewardship, metadata and lineage
Responsible AI standards - fairness, transparency, explainability and bias mitigation
Governance across the full AI lifecycle, including ML and LLM‑based models
Engagement with senior leaders as the authority on data ethics and AI risk
Building and leading a high‑performing governance team

What You Bring

Strong senior‑level experience in data governance, data risk, analytics or AI oversight
Deep knowledge of data management concepts and governance frameworks
Hands‑on exposure to AI governance and responsible AI practices
Confidence working with modern ML and LLM‑based models and evaluation approaches
Experience operating in regulated environments
The ability to turn complex technical issues into clear, practical guidance
Clear leadership presence and the confidence to challenge when needed

Why This Role

High impact, enterprise‑level scope
Genuine ownership - design, not maintenance
Exposure to cutting‑edge AI use cases
Influence at senior levels
The chance to shape how data and AI are used for years to come

If you're ready to take control of how data and AI are governed - not just managed - this role delivers.

Apply now.
