Job description
About the Role
Enterprise Data Governance (EDG) is a high-growth function at the heart of CBRE's data transformation - and scaling it effectively requires more than great governance ideas. It requires a senior leader who owns the operational engine: the headcount strategy, the budgets, the programme portfolio, the communications, and the organizational rhythm that keeps a complex, multi-workstream function running at pace.
We're looking for a Director of EDG Operations & Programme Management to be the strategic right hand to the Head of Data Governance. This is a senior leadership role - part COO, part programme director, part communications lead - responsible for ensuring that EDG operates with the discipline, visibility, and momentum needed to deliver across a portfolio that spans the Data Catalog, Master Data, Data Quality, and client-facing governance programmes. You will hold the consolidated view of the CDO portfolio, own the financial plan, and be the person who ensures nothing important falls through the gaps.
Why This Role Matters at CBRE
EDG is scaling fast - new programmes launching, headcount growing, and a portfolio of services that now spans the Data Catalog, Master Data, Data Quality, and client-facing governance. The Head of EDG needs a trusted Director-level partner to run the operational and programme layer so that strategic capacity stays focused on what matters most. This Director sets the operating model, holds the financial discipline, and ensures that EDG's growing footprint delivers with the rigour and visibility that a VP-led function demands.
Your First Mission (Months 1-6)
Conduct a rapid assessment of EDG's operating model - headcount strategy, programme portfolio health, budget position, and communications effectiveness. Establish a clear operating cadence and a single view of EDG function health that gives the VP and senior stakeholders real-time confidence. Identify the two or three structural gaps that most constrain EDG's ability to scale, and begin fixing them within the first quarter.

- Own the EDG Communications & Engagement calendar, orchestrating touchpoints across Data & Analytics, EA, Cloud & Data, and Enterprise Technology to ensure alignment and reduce noise.
- Direct EDG's digital presence - Intranet, Confluence, and Engage - ensuring they reflect the function's maturity and serve as genuine enablement tools.
- Design and lead cross-team L&D initiatives - training workshops, reverse mentoring, and centralised learning resources - in strategic partnership with D&A and EA, Cloud & Data.
- Drive QBR preparation for D&A and EA, Cloud & Data leadership, ensuring EDG's contribution to the broader data narrative is well-evidenced and well-told.
What you'll need
- 8+ years in operations, programme management, or chief-of-staff roles within technology or data organisations, with at least 3 years at Director level or equivalent.

- Strong programme director capability - able to govern a portfolio of concurrent workstreams, make resource allocation decisions, and maintain stakeholder confidence across complex delivery.
- Executive-level communication skills - able to craft and deliver compelling narratives for C-suite, business, and technical audiences, and to write with clarity across formats (exec updates, comms strategies, publications).
- Organisational design instinct - you spot structural gaps before they become delivery problems and build process that scales with the function, not just for today.
- Comfortable operating at the intersection of strategy and execution - able to engage at VP level on direction and roll up your sleeves on operational detail when it matters.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience in a data governance, data management, or analytics function - understanding the domain accelerates your impact.
