Data is our entire value proposition—join us to build out the governance structures to support the next for the next generation of intelligence at Supermetrics.
We’re looking for a Data Governance Lead to join our Data Strategy team in Helsinki or Dublin office.
In this role, you will…
- Design and own Supermetrics’ data governance framework — defining the standards, policies, and practices that govern how data is created, classified, and maintained across the business.
- Lead the implementation and ongoing operation of our data catalogue (Open Metadata), ensuring every business-critical data asset is documented and discoverable.
- Establish and manage a data stewardship programme — partnering with business domain leads to define data ownership and accountability.
- Define data quality standards and SLA’s, working with data owners to improve the overall quality of data consumed, integrated and presented to the wider business.
- Contribute to our AI governance agenda — ensuring that AI workflows and models built on our data are grounded in governed, auditable, and well-documented foundations.
Your day-to-day work and responsibilities include…
- Framework Design: Defining the policies and standards for data creation, classification, and maintenance across the business.
- Catalog Management: Leading the evolution of our data catalogue (Open Metadata) to ensure assets are documented and well-understood.
- Data Stewardship: Partnering with business domain leads to define data ownership and ensuring those accountabilities are actively maintained.
- Quality & SLAs: Working hands-on with the Data Platform team to instrument automated quality monitoring across our pipelines (BigQuery, dbt, Elementary).
- Compliance Partnership: Partnering with Legal (GDPR) and IT (SOC2) to ensure data handling, retention, and access policies are compliant and audit-ready.
- Clarity & Literacy: Building a company-wide data dictionary and business glossary while advocating data literacy and governance culture.
- Leadership: Establishing and chairing a Data Governance Working Group with cross-functional representation.
This is for you if you have…
- 6+ years in data roles, with demonstrable experience designing or implementing data governance frameworks in a cloud-native environment.
- Proven hands-on experience with data cataloguing and metadata management tools (Open Metadata, Collibra, Alation, DataHub, or equivalent).
- Solid working knowledge of GDPR and data compliance obligations in a SaaS or technology company context.
- Familiarity with modern data stack components: cloud data warehousing (BigQuery preferred), data transformation (dbt), and pipeline orchestration.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills — equally comfortable engaging with engineering teams and senior business leaders.
- Structured, process-oriented approach — able to translate governance principles into practical, enforceable operational standards.
We also appreciate if you have…
- Experience in a B2B SaaS or high-growth technology environment.
- Hands-on experience with data quality tooling such as Elementary, Great Expectations, or Monte Carlo.
- Familiarity with AI and ML governance concepts — model lineage, responsible AI frameworks, or bias detection.
- CDMP, DAMA, or equivalent data governance certification.
- Experience with Snowplow, Airflow, or event-driven data architectures.
Benefits we offer…
- Competitive compensation package, including equity
- Great work equipment
- Health care benefit and leisure time insurance
