The Role

The Data Governance Analysts plays a hands-on, delivery-focused role in operationalising Pepperstone's Data Governance Framework and Data Quality Framework across Pepperstone. The role is the connective tissue between governance policy and platform execution, translating principles into tagged, classified, well-described and measurably trusted Data Products and Assets across the business.

The Value Proposition of the role is to lift the trustworthiness, transparency and reusability of Pepperstone's data, directly enabling faster, safer, data-driven decisions across Trading, Risk, Finance, Compliance, Marketing and Client Services in a highly regulated, fast-moving financial services environment.
