Information Governance Manager (Part-time, 3DPW)

Purpose of Role

We are looking for an Information Governance Manager for the UK property business and group team activities.

This is an excellent opportunity for an information governance specialist to work hand-in-hand with the business teams, in a culture of innovation, collaboration, high performance and growth mindset.

Risk Management: Maintain visibility on information operational risk and its management/mitigation by the business, with insightful risk reporting for senior management and the Board.
