Senior Governance Specialist

What you'll be focused on

• Owning the operational layer of Research Governance, this means building the tools, trackers, and systems that keep our methodology consistent across markets and products.
• Running our monitoring programme - documenting methodology drift signals, maintaining governance records, and ensuring the Head of Research always has a clear picture of what’s happening.
• Coordinating across Survey Ops, Product, Solutions, Data Science, Marketing Science, and Strategic Partnerships to make sure everyone has the right data context, standards, and guardrails.
• Producing crisp, structured governance documentation - SCQAs, methodology summaries, pre‑reads, and updates that help the business make good decisions.
• Designing for scale: building once, automating often, and using AI tools to replace repetitive manual work.
• Keeping programme‑level awareness of validation and Mode 3 tests, updating governance records as evidence comes through.

• You’re comfortable in a programme‑like environment with constant iteration, change, and improvement.

What you'll bring

• Experience building or maintaining tracking/monitoring systems.
• Evidence of using AI agents or automated skills to extend the scale, reliability and capability of yourself or teams.
