PURPOSE OF THE ROLE The BBC has been serving audiences online for more than 20 years. Across key products including BBC iPlayer, BBC News, BBC Sport, BBC Weather, BBC Sounds, and bbc.co.uk, we entertain, educate, and inform millions every day. We are making a fundamental shift from being a broadcaster that speaks to audiences, to becoming a service shaped by them - designed around their needs, expectations, and trust. Personalisation, data-driven decision-making, and responsible use of technology are central to this ambition. As Head of Data Governance and Responsible AI, you will lead the enterprise-wide vision, strategy, and operating model that ensures the BBC's data and AI are trusted, well-governed, ethical, and product-focused. You will enable innovation across multiple enterprise data platforms and product domains, while safeguarding audience trust, editorial integrity, and regulatory compliance.

You will be accountable for governance across a broad portfolio of data products and AI use cases, balancing consistency with local autonomy in a large, regulated, public-service organisation. This role is critical to ensuring data and AI are treated as products with clear ownership, quality standards, lifecycle management, and accountability and that Data Governance best practises and Responsible AI principles are embedded into the platforms and services that power the BBC, rather than applied retrospectively. YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES AND IMPACT Strategic Leadership Define, prioritise, and deliver the BBC's enterprise Data Governance and Responsible AI strategy across a diverse portfolio of data platforms and AI initiatives. Own the governance roadmap, sequencing capability in line with organisational readiness, transformation milestones, and business priorities.

Lead the BBC's Responsible AI principles, policies, and operating model, ensuring ethical, transparent, and accountable use of AI across platforms and products and enabling teams to make informed decisions. Define and implement a risk-based governance framework for AI systems covering risk assessment, bias mitigation, explainability, human oversight, and auditability, with accountability embedded in delivery teams. Operationalise Responsible AI by embedding measurable requirements into delivery pipelines and platform tooling, enabling teams to meet standards through normal development workflows. Records Management Set and steward enterprise records management standards and policies, ensuring consistent classification, retention, disposal, and defensible record-keeping across data, content, and AI-related artefacts. Lead the central records management capability, coordinating lifecycle management of records across platforms and teams, and providing guidance and assurance to support regulatory, legal, and editorial obligations. Team Leadership & Capability Building Lead and develop a multidisciplinary Data Governance and Responsible AI team, fostering strong ethical judgement, collaboration, and delivery focus. Build data governance and Responsible AI capability across product, engineering, and data communities through guidance, training, and communities of practice.
