Senior Data Governance & Compliance Consultant
Apply for this jobWe’re looking for a Consultant specialized in Data Protection and Data Governance. We help organizations develop data and AI strategies through strategic roadmaps that support them in their journey to become data-driven. We co-create practical solutions that add value to perform better. Data quality is becoming increasingly important in the context of AI, making data governance and information security more than just a compliance requirement. Companies are facing increasing regulation from all sides. We aim to help our clients not only meet these obligations but also leverage them as an opportunity to become more data-driven and unlock greater business value.
What you'll be doing:
As a Senior Data Governance & Compliance Consultant, you will help our clients figure out how to hit their business goals more easily with a solid data governance strategy as one of their fundaments to grow their data maturity. Your main goal will be improving the data quality, availability and compliance so you're sure that the standards you apply are reliable. We notice that our clients struggle with this, unsure of where to start, and often find that it's made more complicated than it needs to be.
Your responsibilities:
- Navigating through the many regulatory requirements to figure out what truly matters. Then, transforming them into a realistic roadmap toward compliance while also generating business value.
- Creating smart policies and designing governance and security frameworks that actually work
- Leading risk assessments that don’t just focus on cost-efficiency but find the gaps in both tech and processes—then work to close them!
- Using your analytical brainpower to design actionable processes and make complicated things simple.
- Collaborating with our clients, helping them gather and writing missing documentation.
- Contributing to the development of our Madison.Partners methodology.
Who we are looking for:
- You’ve got a Master’s degree in Economics, Legal, AI, Digital Transformation, or Strategic Management (or something equally smart!).
- You've been around for at least 10 years in the corporate world—whether as an Information Security Officer, Risk Officer, Data Governance/Compliance Manager or maybe even a Program or Audit Manager.
- You know your way around the big regulatory acronyms—DORA, NIS2, GDPR, FIDA,...—and have been hands-on in regulatory projects.
- Data is your thing. You can tell a great story with it and get others on board with your ideas.
- A legal or audit background? Awesome! As we focus on blending business and IT, it would be great if you also have a business mindset.
- You speak Dutch and English fluently (bonus points if you’re a native speaker of either).
- Familiar with information security? Great! If you’re on top of market trends and know your stuff when it comes to data and AI, even better!
What's in it for you?
At Madison.Partners, you’ll be part of a fast-growing and exciting field, working with inspiring companies to help shape their data & AI strategies. But it’s not just about the work – it’s about who we are as a team and what we stand for.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Authenticity, impact, good judgement, and transparency aren’t just buzzwords for us. They’re at the core of everything we do. We value collaboration, support each other and want you to grow in a way that fits your career path and personal well-being.
- We don’t just talk about results – we deliver them. Plus, we offer tons of training opportunities to help you crush your goals.
- You’ll never get bored here – we regularly organize team-building activities and inspirational sessions to share knowledge and spark new ideas.
- And of course, we’ve got the perks: a competitive salary, electric company car with a charging card, meal vouchers, hospitalization and group insurance. Oh and an end-of-year bonus to sweeten the deal!
- We’re a small company with a flat hierarchy, meaning your voice matters. You’ll be working from our gorgeous office in the heart of Ghent, but you’ve got the flexibility to work hybrid—on-site or from home, it’s up to you!
At Madison.Partners, we’re all about real impact, practical solutions, and creating a space where your ideas matter. So if you're ready to cut through the noise, lead with purpose and shape the future of data regulations, we’d love to meet you!
Ready to join us? Apply now and make a real impact on our clients’ growth and success.
