About the role

  • Support the design, implementation, and ongoing operation of a formal data governance program, including policies, standards, and repeatable processes for managing data across its lifecycle.
  • Establish and maintain governance routines (working sessions, decision forums, issue triage, and reporting) that drive adoption and measurable maturity improvements.
  • Provide clear documentation of governance artifacts (policies, standards, guidance, and decision records) to support transparency and consistency.
  • Help define and operationalize data ownership and stewardship roles, including responsibilities and escalation paths, so data is actively managed rather than passively maintained.
  • Drive alignment on standard definitions (business terms, metrics, and core concepts) to reduce inconsistency across reporting and analytics.
  • Partner with business and technical stakeholders to ensure governance standards are practical, adoptable, and aligned to business outcomes.
  • Establish and monitor data quality expectations and metrics (e.g., completeness, accuracy, timeliness) and drive resolution of data issues through root-cause identification and remediation plans.
  • Coordinate issue intake, prioritization, tracking, and closure, ensuring repeatable remediation and reduced recurrence over time.
  • Provide regular reporting on data quality trends, policy adherence, and governance exceptions to stakeholders and leadership.
  • Promote and support metadata practices (cataloging, documentation, and lineage) that improve discoverability, traceability, and consistent use of data assets.
  • Partner with platform/tool owners to ensure the organization maintains a usable catalog of data assets and business definitions that can be found and understood by intended consumers.
  • Work with Information Security, Privacy, Risk, and Compliance partners to ensure governance expectations align with enterprise policies for appropriate access, secure usage, and regulatory compliance.
  • Help ensure governance includes practical controls and auditable processes for sensitive data handling, retention considerations, and policy compliance.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in data governance, data management, data quality, information governance, or related roles in a complex enterprise environment
  • Demonstrated experience creating or operating governance processes (policies/standards, stewardship models, issue management, governance reporting)
  • Experience partnering across business and technical teams and influencing without direct authority
  • Strong communication and change leadership skills, including the ability to make governance easy to understand and adopt.
  • Familiarity with metadata and cataloging concepts (business glossary, catalog, lineage) and how they enable consistent reporting and trusted analytics.
  • Experience working in regulated or control-oriented domains where governance and auditability are important.
  • Exposure to common governance tooling (catalog/metadata platforms) and workflows that support policy enforcement and monitoring.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience required.
  • Advanced degree preferred.
