Data Enablement Officer

Help shape how Efficio uses data responsibly, securely and effectively.

We are looking for a Data Enablement Officer to establish and lead Efficio’s data governance framework, helping us protect client data while enabling its responsible use across our services, analytics, products and AI capabilities.

This is a highly visible role at the intersection of data, technology, AI, risk and client delivery. You will work across the business to turn complex contractual, regulatory, privacy and security requirements into practical guidance that enables teams to innovate with confidence.

Initially, the role will have a strong advisory and enablement focus: helping teams understand client requirements, assess new uses of data and make proportionate, risk-based decisions. As our governance model matures, the role is expected to take greater ownership of the framework and delegated authority for lower-risk decisions.

What you'll be doing

Establish our data governance framework

You will assess our current data-handling practices and develop a practical, scalable governance framework covering the lifecycle of client data – from collection and classification through to access, use, sharing, storage, retention and secure deletion.

You will develop and maintain policies and standards covering areas including:

• Client data handling and classification

• Data reuse and fair usage

• Use of client data within Efficio products

• Use of data with AI tools, including third-party and self-hosted solutions

• Data access and security

• Retention, archiving and secure disposal

• Anonymisation and aggregation

• Third-party data sharing

• Policy exceptions and escalation

You will also help establish and maintain our information asset inventories, data flows and AI asset registers.

Enable responsible use of data and AI

A key part of the role will be helping teams determine what we can do with data, under what conditions, and with what safeguards.

You will establish a consistent approach
