• Serve as the primary point of contact for data-related inquiries, access requests, and exception handling
• Partner with Data Owners, Product Owners, and business SMEs to define data quality thresholds and ensure alignment across domains
• Promote consistency across data products and drive cross-domain standards
• Identify opportunities to enhance governance processes through automation and tooling
• Mentor junior data stewards and advise teams on governance best practices and evolving regulatory requirements

Qualifications

• Experience in data management, governance, or stewardship, ideally within regulated industries such as financial services, fintech, healthcare, or pharmaceuticals. CDMP certification is a plus
• Proven track record of building data governance frameworks from the ground up, particularly in greenfield environments, early-stage organizations, or emerging governance functions
• Hands-on experience with governance and metadata tools (e.g., Collibra, BigID), data quality platforms, and strong SQL/T-SQL skills; familiarity with AWS and experience working with both relational and NoSQL data stores

Preferred

• Experience operating in high-growth or transformation environments
• Exposure to modern data architectures (data lakes, warehouses, cloud-native platforms)
• Prior experience mentoring or leading data stewards or governance team members

What You’ll Get

• Opportunity to build and shape an enterprise data governance program from the ground up
• High visibility and collaboration with senior leadership and cross-functional teams
• A dynamic, fast-paced environment focused on data-driven decision making
• Competitive compensation and benefits package
