About Camden
Camden is building somewhere everyone can thrive, by making our borough the best place to live, work, study and visit. We’re not just home to the UK’s fastest-growing economy, we’re home to the most important conversations happening today. And we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind. Here’s where you can help decide a better future for us all.
We believe that data is at the heart of improving our residents’ lives by empowering services with insights and decision support. We have embarked on an ambitious data strategy to become a centre of excellence for data.
Data plays a crucial role in supporting both people and communities in Camden. Understanding resident’s needs requires inclusive data which help bridge gaps and to shine light on the most complex social issues without bias or preconceptions. To achieve this vision Camden has recently published its first of a kind Data Charter which has been developed in collaboration with residents, community groups and partner organisations to ensure that data is used transparently for public good and managed securely and ethically in an accountable way across the organisation.
What You’ll Be Doing / How You’ll Be Involved
As a Data Governance Manager, you will be responsible for the implementation of practical data governance solutions to support organisational needs, identifying opportunities and making recommendations to improve the quality and trustworthiness of data throughout the organisation.
You will work closely with Information Asset Owners, Data Stewards and Data Analysts in all services to understand the state of data maturity across Camden’s data landscape. You will then work with the individuals you identify in those services to apply data governance measures to optimise the safety and value of data throughout its life cycle, minimise data risks and improve data literacy in those services.
