• Manage and prioritize data quality remediation efforts, including root-cause analysis and implementation of sustainable corrective actions.

• Serve as the escalation point for complex or cross-functional data issues, including non-compliance with data standards or SLA breaches.

• Partner with Data Governance to align on policies and controls, while independently driving operational execution and compliance.

• Oversee bulk data updates, audits, exception handling, and data correction processes with a focus on scalability and control.

• Drive process improvements, automation opportunities, and tooling enhancements related to data quality and data management operations.

• Supervise, coach, and provide day-to-day direction to data management staff.

• Ensure documentation of data standards, definitions, processes, and controls is current and maintained.

Who You Are:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and experience.

• Seven (7)+ years of experience in data management, data quality, data governance, or data stewardship roles.

• Experience defining and implementing data quality metrics, KPIs, and performance reporting.

• Preferred:

  • Experience operating in a federated or distributed data ownership environment.

  • Experience influencing business stakeholders and driving accountability without direct authority.

  • Familiarity with data governance tools, data catalogs, and data quality platforms.

• Demonstrated experience building or operationalizing data quality or data management programs.

• Strong knowledge of master data management, data quality frameworks, and distributed data ownership models.
