About this role
The role
As a Data Asset Manager, you’ll support the Principal Data Governance Lead and lead a network of data stewards to improve how data is acquired, managed and used across our Licensing function. You’ll work closely with data engineers to shape data-driven processes, pipelines and systems that underpin major vendor agreements.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you will
• Champion strong data governance, quality, metadata and lineage
• Design and implement data frameworks and cataloguing solutions
• Improve data literacy and embed a culture of best practice
• Manage end-to-end data asset lifecycles across content and software products
• Turn data into real business value, aligning data initiatives with strategic goals
You’ll be part of an innovative, customer-focused team delivering smarter data solutions for Jisc and the wider education and research sector.
If you’re passionate about data governance, love turning complexity into clarity, and want to make an impact at scale—this is your role.
