As Data Strategy Manager, you will work with the Data Strategy lead and be part of the Digital and Data Strategy team. You will help design and implement frameworks, policy, and technical guidance for NPL's data governance and embed these into our science and operational teams.

You will be responsible for rolling out our Data Strategy programme and helping define the technical, legislative, and regulatory requirements for NPL to make best use of its data and to ensure we have established corporate principles for creating, managing, and exploiting our data assets.

You will coordinate and collaborate on our data strategy across NPL's science, quality, IT, and cyber teams, including analysis of existing ways of working and managing data to ensure these areas are aligned with the main data strategy framework and, where applicable, collaborate with those teams to create joint policies and initiatives.
