PostNord Group 

We are committed to accelerating our digital transformation, and we're seeking a Data Governance Lead to play a crucial role in ensuring top-tier data governance across the organization. As part of the enterprise architecture team, your primary responsibility will be to design, implement, and manage a comprehensive Data Governance framework tailored to our organization's needs.

Job duties
