Senior Director, Data and Information Marketplace
About the company
We’re building a connected, end-to-end Enterprise AI engine - uniting data foundations, AI technology, process reinvention, and business-facing AI to accelerate results across the whole value chain. Success depends on being exceptional connectors: you’ll actively harness existing capabilities, celebrate and promote reuse, export breakthrough ideas across geographies and functions, and obsess over scaling impact rather than building in isolation. If you thrive in high-collaboration environments where your role is to turn sophisticated, cross-functional problems into reusable, enterprise-wide capabilities - and where the measure of success is adoption and scale, not just innovation - you’ll have the platform (and sponsorship) to make it real!
Introduction to role
The Senior Director, Data and Information Marketplace provides strategic leadership for the capabilities, products and governance needed to help humans and intelligent agents discover, share, understand and use data and information quickly, easily and compliantly. This role shapes an integrated Data & Information Marketplace that improves the consumption experience across the enterprise, increases confidence in data and information assets, and ensures they are accessible, transparent, governed and valuable throughout their lifecycle. It ensures that data and information can be used with trust and efficiency, supports responsible and scalable reuse, and drives adoption of product-based capabilities and tooling that enhance enterprise productivity, compliance and decision-making.
Accountabilities
Responsibilities
Lead the vision for a unified Data & Information Marketplace that transforms how data and information are discovered, accessed and reused across the organisation. Define a clear strategy and roadmap that aligns marketplace outcomes with enterprise data, AI and business priorities, setting measurable goals and operating models that drive impact. Oversee product ownership for marketplace capabilities and tooling, ensuring intuitive experiences for both people and agents across discovery, access, sharing, understanding and use. Advise the development of capabilities for data access, lineage, observability and quality so that data assets are transparent, trusted and usable at scale. Shape enterprise approaches to data, information and knowledge lifecycle management, embedding governance for retention, stewardship, reuse, archival and disposal to maximise value while maintaining compliance. Champion new ways of managing unstructured information to improve discoverability, control and responsible use beyond traditional structured domains. Embed robust governance and control frameworks across marketplace services, aligned with legal, privacy, security and risk standards. Drive financial transparency and optimisation for marketplace platforms and services through FinOps practices that improve cost visibility, value realisation and sustainable scaling. Influence senior leaders across business, data, digital, security and compliance functions to secure adoption, prioritisation and continuous improvement of marketplace capabilities and ways of working.
