Hi! My partner and I are considering a move to Japan in the next few years. I work in data governance within the financial industry. Data governance regulations differ from country to country (and state to state in the US). The surrounding culture/regulations around data often impact the range of governance jobs available nearby.
I've already researched some laws and regulations surrounding data protection in Japan, but, I thought I'd ask here if anyone is familiar with data governance roles in Japan (in or outside of finance) and the general views towards data regulation/privacy in Japanese companies? For example, are data gov roles in a standalone department and prioritized or baked into IT and strategy roles? Thanks!
PS: (Data governance goes beyond just privacy/regulations. If anyone knows about the culture surrounding other data gov. facets like data management, data quality, etc. in Japanese companies, lmk! I know this is a very niche question, so thanks if you can help, and no worries if not!)
