Great Britains gambling industry is in a constant state of change, fuelled by shifting consumer behaviour and the rapid growth of technology. Its high profile politically too, and the legislation controlling gambling is constantly under scrutiny. Within this uniquely challenging and evolving environment, The Gambling Commissions role is to ensure that gambling is crime free, fair and open - and that children and vulnerable people are protected.

You will lead the development and delivery of the data management architecture, policies, projects and processes, ensuring there is a robust lifecycle approach. Overseeing the development of the associated strategy, you will maintain data governance, establish data requirements, map and manage workflows and raise data quality standards. 

Managing a small team of two - three colleagues, you will work closely with the Data Analytics Function and the IT Programme, as well as managing any data-related third-party contracts.

- Previous experience in a data management role 

- Experience of implementing best practice data management principles and practices 

- A proven track record of managing and delivering successful data management-related projects 

- At a minimum, a degree-level qualification (or equivalent), ideally in a subject that covers data management disciplines or modules
