Key Responsibilities
- Review & Validate Existing Deliverables: Assess current data governance operating model, policies, and technical documentation to identify gaps, inconsistencies, and improvement areas
- Refinement & Finalization: Enhance and complete governance artifacts, ensuring alignment with best practices, client requirements, and regulatory expectations
- Policy & Standards Consolidation: Finalize enterprise data policies, procedures, and standards across data lifecycle domains (quality, sharing, modeling, compliance, AI governance)
- Tooling Review & Documentation: Validate configuration and usage of governance tools (e.g., metadata catalog, classification, lineage), and complete supporting technical documentation
- Adoption Readiness: Refine training materials and support onboarding of data stewards to ensure practical usability and adoption of governance frameworks
- Quality Assurance & Handover: Ensure all deliverables are coherent, implementable, and packaged for stakeholder sign-off and operational rollout
Expected Outputs
- Finalized data governance operating model and role framework
- Completed and quality-assured data policies and procedural standards
- Reviewed and documented governance tooling setup
- Refined data stewardship training and onboarding materials

- 10+ years of experience in data governance, data management, or related roles, with at least 5 years in a leadership role.

- Experience with regulatory requirements and data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage large-scale projects.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills.
