The Enterprise Data Steward will support VDOT’s Data Program by working directly with assigned data stewards across the agency to strengthen data management practices, improve data quality, and prepare datasets for quality measurement within our data governance tool. In this role, the staff member will facilitate regular meetings with division-level stewards, guide them through required stewardship activities, assist in developing scoping documentation, data dictionaries, and business rules.

• Provide training, coaching, and support on data management, data quality concepts, and data stewardship practices.

• Support agencywide data quality and stewardship by providing subject‑area guidance for defining and measuring data quality, collaborating with system owners and SMEs to resolve complex data issues, promoting data literacy and consistent data management practices, and ensuring stewardship activities follow established standards, frameworks, and governance processes.

Knowledge and Experience Needed

• Strong understanding of data management principles, data quality concepts, and stewardship processes.

• Ability to communicate clearly verbally and in writing, facilitate group discussions, and guide non-technical staff in data-related work.

• Experience helping users create or improve data dictionaries, business rules, or similar documentation.

• Ability to coordinate activities across divisions, manage priorities, and maintain organized documentation.
