Expert resource

Data Governance is an ongoing activity and if your person has moved on, then it can take several months to find a permanent replacement, once you've advertised, selected and let the successful candidate conclude any notice period.

An interim expert not only keeps your processes and activities running smoothly, but is able to use their short-term status to make impactful changes to the data organisation, and provide and "outsider's view".

Data Governance is a niche area and strong candidates are expensive. Moreover, data governance teams are generally small compared to the size of the business, and it can be challenging to add headcount in this space.

If budget is lacking, then the hires are likely to be relatively junior or inexperienced, which may not be what you need.

If you can bring in a senior person, you may not be able to utilise their skills fully for 52 weeks of the year.

As an alternative, we can provide Data Governance colleagues on a part-time basis, which you could schedule around key periods such as reporting cycles or annual reviews.

This gives you the senior, experienced input, but at much lower annual cost.

For UK businesses, we can work with you to define Statements of Work which clarify that the services provided are outside of IR35. This can be further validated using external status checks such as those provided by QDOS.
