MBN Solutions is proud to be partnering exclusively with a leading UK organisation in the insurance sector to recruit a Senior Data Manager. This is a high-impact role sitting at the intersection of business strategy, data governance, and technology – shaping how data is understood, trusted, and leveraged across the organisation.

Data is treated as a strategic asset. You’ll act as the UK Data Design Authority, owning the logical data landscape, driving data quality, and ensuring the coherence of the Microsoft data environment (Fabric & Purview) with real business needs.

You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders across the business and IT, enabling effective use of data domains, embedding governance frameworks, and championing data as a core driver of value.

What you’ll be responsible for:

• Acting as Data Design Authority for data strategy and logical data models
• Curating and maintaining the Data Body of Knowledge (glossary, definitions, business rules)
• Owning and governing master, reference, and metadata
• Designing and embedding a robust Data Quality framework and certification processes
• Driving root cause analysis, lineage, and remediation of data issues
• Acting as the gateway between business and IT for all data-impacting initiatives
• Ensuring appropriate guardrails for access to business and financial data
• Maintaining and evolving data domains in line with business needs
• Assessing and introducing new data sources and techniques (including GenAI use cases)

What we’re looking for:

• Extensive experience in complex data environments
• Strong understanding of metadata, master and reference data
• Deep insurance sector knowledge
• Proven experience in data model management
• Hands-on experience with Data Quality rules and frameworks
• Strong SQL capability
• Experience running continuous improvement cycles or managing a data stewardship community
• Excellent problem-solving and root cause analysis skills

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Are a self-starter with a passion for Data Management
• Are a natural problem-solver
• Communicate clearly and confidently at all levels
• Genuinely believe data is a strategic business asset
• Can bridge big-picture strategy with operational detail
• Enjoy working in matrixed, collaborative environments

This is a rare opportunity to shape a mature, enterprise-wide data capability in a business where data truly matters.
