• Ensure that the data guidelines, guiding principles, and data governance processes are adhered to within the data entities and business projects.

• Coordinate and conduct Data Entity Forums, prepare the agenda, and follow up on actions.

• Facilitate the Data Stewards in handling changes, Data Quality Monitoring, and Data Governance processes.

• Support the design of new MD standards and guidance

• Support our business projects as a data SME, providing specific data management and governance expertise.

Whom we are looking for

The ideal candidate would be a pragmatic and experienced data expert with solid hands-on skills in setting up a global company’s data governance.

The Data Governance Team is placed in our Information Management Department and consists of 4 internal specialists and several external partners and works out of Gentofte (DK) and Eersel (NL). Whether you are based out of either, you will be regularly checking in with teammates in the other location so that some travel activity can be expected.
