LOTI’s award winning team has shown the value of a regional information governance function that supports London’s public sector to tackle problems with positivity and innovation.

We’re looking for an experienced information governance professional to join the team, working closely with the GLA (Greater London Authority), to help us to lead and support regional data sharing projects, develop the Data for London Platform, and deliver workshops and expert advice that helps to build confidence for non-specialists.

Come and join us! For the job description and details of the application, visit our application webpage, the deadline is 9th December 2025. 

Wondering what it would be like to have this role? Here’s what could be a typical week: 

Monday

Today’s an office day so you head to London Councils’ HQ at Arthur Street to spend it with the LOTI team. You respond to several emails asking for documents related to the Pan-London Data Sharing Project, by sharing links to where they are published on the LOTI website. 

You then review a draft Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) for part of the Get Britain Working Trailblazer pan-London youth data sharing pilot. This involves some research into relevant legislation and the government’s approach to improving the chances of young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET). You highlight where the project team needs to add more information about why the data sharing is necessary and ask them for details of the relevant legislation. You let the Pan-London Information Governance Lead know that the DPIA is on track and that you’d like them to review the final version, which is expected by the beginning of next week.

After a productive morning, you enjoy lunch with colleagues from the LOTI team, where we’re talking about weekend plans.

The afternoon starts with LOTI’s fortnightly team meeting where we’re planning our next All Members monthly meeting. We’re focusing on cyber security and you raise a couple of points to add to the slides, that encourage people to recognise their information governance responsibilities.

Later in the afternoon you hear a London Councils colleague talking about a new data project and you speak to them about the information governance needs. As they aren’t aware of what is involved, you set up a virtual meeting for later in the week to hear more about the project and provide advice. You’re pleased that you were able to intervene early to get the project on the right information governance tracks, and you flag this to your manager to ask if they have any additional concerns.

Tuesday

You start the day with a virtual LOTI team stand-up. It’s a short meeting to check in with the rest of the team, hear any important updates and ask for any help you need. 

You have blocked out your calendar for the morning to look at platform designs provided by the GLA (Greater London Authority) Data for London team’s software developers and designers, as the team wants to know more about the information governance implications. 

After lunch you review your morning’s work and email the project team, suggesting a call next week to discuss their follow up questions. 

You respond to emails for the rest of the afternoon.

Wednesday

You spend the day at the GLA offices in Union Street with the Data for London team. After the virtual LOTI morning stand-up meeting, you meet with the Data for London product manager to understand the tasks you’ve been allocated and discuss your progress against them. 

You enjoy a discussion about identifying whether researchers can have access to data on the Data for London Platform. One of the people in the meeting challenges the approach to choosing a lawful basis for using the data, so after the meeting you message your manager to discuss how to approach the follow up. 

You get outside at lunchtime for some fresh air then attend a GLA team meeting to hear about the latest developments on the Data for London platform. You make notes of the aspects that you need to consider and then finish for the day. 

Thursday

There’s no team stand-up today and you’re working from home. You spend the morning uploading a Data Sharing Agreement to the data sharing portal and assign the role of approver to one of the Data Protection Officers involved in the working group. You draft the introduction email that will go to all relevant parties, once the DSA is approved and ready for sign up. You email the introduction draft to the working group to see if they have anything to add.

You make yourself lunch at home and afterwards check Basecamp to see if there are any messages that need your attention. You respond to several messages from information governance colleagues in London borough councils and put a LOTI member in touch with someone who can answer their query.

You spend several hours preparing for a presentation you’re giving next week about the information governance aspects of a project. Before logging off you check whether there is anything outstanding you need to achieve by the end of the week and make plans for Friday. 

Friday

You join the virtual meeting with the London Councils colleague that you set up on Monday, and ask questions to identify the complexity and likely risks for the project. You ask them about their timescales so you can plan the necessary work. You send a summary to your manager and the LOTI Data Projects Manager, asking for a meeting next week so you can discuss the project. This takes up all of your morning, and you’re happy with the progress you’ve made.

After lunch, you join the full LOTI team online for the weekly retro and planning meeting. In the meeting, each team member shares highlights from their week and details of their most important activities for next week. It helps ensure we’re coordinated and that each team member can ask for any help they need. While every member of the team has a specific role and remit, you enjoy getting involved in the work of other team members. You volunteer to review a document one of the team has drafted, as it is due to be published next week.

The Director of LOTI praises the team for the great feedback that was received for an event we ran last week and you thank a colleague for their help in proofreading your presentation for next week.

You see that you’ve received feedback on the Get Britain Working Trailblazer project DPIA that you reviewed on Monday, so you set aside Tuesday morning next week to look at this and make amendments to the documents.

After making notes of some things you’d like to discuss in your fortnightly 1-1 next week, you log off and add your LOTI-branded jumper to the weekend laundry so that it’s clean for the All Members in-person event next week.
