Enterprise Data Architect & Governance Lead - 9-month engagement (UK Remote)

The Opportunity

Turnitin is looking for an experienced Enterprise Data Architecture & Governance Lead to help define the future of how we use data to run our business.

Over time, our reporting capabilities have evolved across multiple functions including Finance, Revenue Operations, Product, HR and Engineering. Whilst these capabilities provide value locally, they have developed independently, resulting in inconsistent metric definitions, fragmented ownership and varying levels of confidence in enterprise reporting.

This role represents a unique opportunity to shape Turnitin's enterprise data strategy by establishing the foundations for trusted, scalable and decision-ready information.

Working closely with executive stakeholders across the organisation, you will assess our current environment, define a practical target state and provide a roadmap that enables future execution.

What you’ll do 

You will:

• Assess Turnitin's current reporting and analytics landscape;
• Identify the root causes of fragmented reporting and conflicting metrics;
• Define ownership and governance principles for critical enterprise data;
• Develop a high-level target-state architecture for enterprise reporting and analytics;
• Establish standards for enterprise metric definitions and trusted reporting;
• Recommend an operating model that balances enterprise consistency with functional autonomy;
• Produce a practical roadmap for future implementation and investment;
• Facilitate alignment across executive and business stakeholders.

What success looks like

By the end of the engagement, Turnitin will have:

• A shared understanding of its current data landscape;
• Clear ownership of priority enterprise metrics;
• Improved confidence in Executive and Board reporting;
• A pragmatic governance framework;
• A target-state blueprint for enterprise reporting and analytics;
• A prioritised roadmap for implementation.

What we’re looking for

We're seeking a pragmatic enterprise data leader who is equally comfortable engaging with executives and technical teams.

You'll bring experience in areas such as:

• Enterprise data architecture and governance;
• Analytics and reporting governance;
• Executive and Board reporting environments;
• Metric definition and stewardship;
• Cross-functional stakeholder management;
• Data quality and reporting controls.

Experience in SaaS, subscription businesses or distributed analytics environments would be highly advantageous.

Why join us

This is an opportunity to define how an established global SaaS organisation measures performance and makes decisions.

You won't simply be building dashboards.

You'll help shape the principles, governance and architecture that underpin trusted enterprise insight across the business.
