A Data Governance Placement Firm, built around the brief
AptitudeJobs is a Data Governance Placement Firm. We partner with regulated organisations to source the senior leaders who carry data accountability — Chief Data Officers, Data Protection Officers, governance leads, and stewardship specialists — and we treat each mandate as a consulting engagement, not a CV sift.
Our consultants have sat inside the function, so the shortlists we present are short for a reason: every candidate has been qualified against the regulatory context, the team dynamic, and the operating reality of the role.
Services
Three ways we help regulated organisations build and protect their Data Governance function — each delivered by consultants who have held these roles themselves.
Executive Search
Retained search for Chief Data Officers, governance leads, and senior Data Governance roles. Discreet, thorough, and reference-checked.
Contingent Placement
Contract and interim placements for governance programmes, transformation roles, and specialist gaps that need filling fast.
Talent Advisory
Workforce planning, succession mapping, and compensation benchmarking for firms building Data Governance functions.
Our approach
Four steps, run as a consulting engagement. Every placement moves through the same disciplined sequence — no shortcuts, no template shortlists.
Listen
We start with the brief — the role, the team, the regulatory context, and the constraints. No template shortlists.
Map
Our governance consultants map the market, identify passive candidates, and qualify each one against the brief.
Present
You see a short, referenced shortlist with our honest assessment — not a pile of résumés.
Place
We manage the offer, the counter-offer, and the onboarding handoff. Then we stay in touch for the first year.
