Job Description

If you want to join a Great Place to Work and contribute to the future of energy, now is the time to make your move.

If you're passionate about data governance and ready for a significant challenge, we want to hear from you. Join us at Centrica Energy and play a pivotal role in our journey towards a sustainable energy future.

The Role

At Centrica Energy, we understand the immense value of data and the growing importance of data governance in all aspects of our operations. That's where you come in.

As the new Head of Data Governance, you will:

  • At least 5 years of experience in data governance, preferably as a data steward or in a similar role.

  • Strong communication skills and a knack for relationship management.

  • Experience with Meta Data/Data Loss Protection tools like Microsoft Purview (preferred, but not mandatory).

The role is based out of Aalborg. Our Aalborg office is not just a workplace; it's the epicenter of our innovative efforts. Here, you'll be instrumental in shaping our path forward.
