A hands-on opportunity to help build data governance in practice within one of the SHV Groups, moving beyond theory into real business impact.
The chance to shape the first reusable data governance building blocks for Adaptfy and the wider SHV family of companies, including templates, ways of working, and practical implementation approaches.
A collaborative and inclusive work environment at Adaptfy, the central data, AI, and analytics business unit supporting SHV companies globally.
Exposure to business and IT stakeholders across Adaptfy and SHV, starting with one embedded group implementation and growing towards broader cross-group impact.
Senior support and coaching from experienced Adaptfy colleagues in data, analytics, architecture, privacy, security, and business consulting.
A role with strong learning and growth potential, ideal for someone who wants to develop into a broader data governance leadership position.
A hybrid working model, with regular travel to SHV companies during key phases of the implementation to build relationships, facilitate workshops, and embed new ways of working.

Engagement with industry trends, new technologies, and evolving data governance practices, fostering lifelong learning and professional growth.
As Data Governance Implementation Lead at Adaptfy, you will help one of the SHV Groups turn data governance from concept into daily practice. You will work closely with business and IT stakeholders to define ownership, improve data quality, document key data processes, and establish practical governance routines.
Rather than starting with a large enterprise-wide framework, your focus will be to prove the first governance building blocks in a real business environment. Once these foundations work, you will help Adaptfy translate the learnings into reusable methods, templates, and accelerators for other SHV companies.

Identify priority data domains, stakeholders, pain points, and governance gaps together with business and IT teams.
Define and document clear roles and responsibilities, including data owners, data stewards, data custodians, and decision forums.
Help establish practical routines for data quality management, issue resolution, access governance, metadata documentation, and change management.
Facilitate workshops with business and technical stakeholders to align on ownership, definitions, rules, and decision-making.
Support the setup of a lightweight Data Governance Council or working group where needed.
Translate governance concepts into clear, usable templates, playbooks, and ways of working.
Capture lessons learned from the first implementation and help Adaptfy turn them into reusable accelerators for other SHV Groups.
