The Role

- Data Quality & Remediation: Lead comprehensive data quality assessments, build remediation pipelines, and track core governance maturity KPIs.
- Metadata & Catalog Management: Maintain and expand data catalogs, business glossaries, and metadata repositories.
- Regulatory & Risk Compliance: Ensure strict alignment with relevant privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, SOX) and perform data privacy/security risk assessments.
- MDM & Lineage: Support Master Data Management (MDM) strategies and end-to-end data lineage documentation.
- Tooling & Culture: Collaborate with technical teams on enterprise governance tools (Collibra, Purview, Informatica, Alation) and lead org-wide training to embed a strong data governance culture.
- Executive Reporting: Prepare high-level governance reports for senior leadership, internal audits, and regulatory bodies.
