Role Overview
Convatec is building a data function and data governance is central to that build. This is a critical delivery role within it. This role will contribute to making Convatec's data findable, traceable and trustworthy.
Working with the business, the Data Governance Analyst will support core elements of our data governance capability – the business glossary and data catalogue in Microsoft Purview, data lineage and a data quality framework that moves us from finding problems in reports to preventing them at source.
Our governance capability is being stood up from the ground up, so the candidate will be comfortable establishing new processes and artefacts and equally comfortable with business stakeholders to get them adopted with the support of data leadership.
About the Role
1. Data Cataloguing and Metadata Management
•Build, populate and maintain the enterprise business glossary and data catalogue in Microsoft Purview (for example Finance & FP&A, Commercial, CRM, Supply Chain).
•Administer the tooling so the catalogue does not decay after go-live.
•Engage data owners, stewards and subject matter experts to agree and publish common definitions for critical data elements, resolving conflicting versions to a single agreed source, and enforcing the metadata standards that make catalogue entries genuinely usable.
2. Data Lineage
•Capture and maintain end-to-end lineage for critical data elements across the full pipeline and documented in a form both engineers and business stakeholders can act on.
•Establish change impact analysis so that upstream source change identifies and warns the affected downstream reports, models and consumers in advance.
3. Data Quality
•Work with business data owners and governance sponsors to translate business risk into testable data quality rules across the recognised dimensions, and implement them as automated, monitored checks with dashboards, agreed thresholds and a defined exception route.
•Profile data, lead root cause analysis on quality issues through to conclusion with measurable outcomes and manage data quality issues log end to end.
•Support the shift from reactive reconciliation to preventative controls applied at the point of capture or ingestion.
4. Governance Framework, Stewardship and Adoption
•Support the implementation of the data governance framework, policies and standards, producing clear, user-friendly documentation and guidance that the business will use.
•Help embed the ownership and stewardship model.
•Contribute to governance KPIs and KRIs.
