The posting

Skanska Group HQ is looking for a Data Governance Lead - a strategic and execution-oriented professional who will drive the company's enterprise data governance agenda at a global level.

This is a key role within Group Function IT, reporting to the VP Analytics & Data. The Data Governance Lead will act as a critical link between business, IT, cybersecurity, legal, and risk functions, translating governance requirements into frameworks that are practical, scalable, and embedded into how the organization operates day-to-day.

Key Responsibilities

Governance Strategy & Roadmap: Lead Skanska’s data governance strategy, operating model, and roadmap in alignment with Group principles and business priorities.

Policy & Framework Development: Implement governance policies, standards, and frameworks covering data ownership, classification, access, retention, and lifecycle management.

Critical Data Asset Management: Identify and prioritize critical data assets and ensure governance practices support information security, operational resilience, and business continuity.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Group and Business Unit stakeholders across IT, cybersecurity, legal, privacy, risk, and business functions to align data governance with regulatory, contractual, and risk requirements, including NIS2-related expectations.

Accountability & Stewardship: Drive accountability by defining, enabling, and supporting data ownership and stewardship roles in line with Skanska’s role definitions.

Compliance & Audit Readiness: Ensure governance controls are clearly documented, implemented, and evidenced to support audit, compliance, and assurance activities.

Governance Maturity: Monitor data governance maturity, identify gaps and risks, and lead continuous improvement initiatives.

Adoption & Culture: Build awareness and adoption of data governance practices through communication, guidance, and training - embedding governance into day-to-day ways of working.

About you

You bring a strategic mindset combined with a strong focus on execution and outcomes. You are comfortable navigating complex stakeholder landscapes, influencing across both business and IT, and making risk-based decisions under ambiguity.

You communicate with clarity and confidence and bring a structured, pragmatic, and deliveryoriented approach. You understand that data governance is not just a technical discipline - it is a people and change challenge - and you know how to bring others on the journey.

Requirements

  • BSc or MSc in data management, information governance, security, risk, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of proven experience leading data governance, information governance, or data risk and compliance initiatives.
  • Strong understanding of data governance frameworks, information controls, and regulatory expectations in an enterprise environment.
  • Demonstrated experience in governance framework and policy development.
  • Expertise in data classification, access, and retention governance.
  • Fluency in English; Swedish is a plus.

Meritorious

  • Experience working cross-functionally with IT, cybersecurity, legal, privacy, risk, and operational teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to translate regulatory and policy requirements into pragmatic, scalable governance processes.
