• Lead Strive's standard data governance initiatives and ensure that all teams follow consistent protocols across the warehouse. 
• Design and operate a production observability and alerting model for ingestion, transformation, warehouse loads, dependencies, and downstream data products, covering freshness, completeness, volume, schema changes, accuracy, reconciliation, latency, availability, pipeline health, and downstream impact to ensure data quality. 
• Own failed or degraded data-processing incidents from triage through verified closure, including severity assessment, alert routing, escalation, stakeholder communication, recovery, reruns, reprocessing, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and improvements to mean time to detect and mean time to resolve. 
• Establish and lead a durable data governance and quality-management process, including ownership, stewardship, data contracts, definitions, lineage, access, retention, prioritization, automated validation, reconciliation, anomaly detection, and issue resolution.

• Partner with Security, Privacy, Legal, Compliance, Clinical, and Technology leadership to make governed data available through reliable interfaces, application programming interfaces (APIs), events, and other appropriate consumption patterns while protecting Protected Health Information (PHI). 
• Lead remediation of recurring data-quality issues and ingestion technical debt, and define operating metrics for freshness, completeness, accuracy, availability, alert quality, incident recurrence, service-level adherence, and request fulfillment. 
• Recruit, develop, and retain the data organization; establish the right mix of data engineers, data architects, analytics engineers, evaluate and manage vendors, and consultants; and communicate data risks, tradeoffs, priorities, and production health clearly to executive and cross-functional stakeholders.

• 5+ years of experience integrating complex and heterogeneous data sources, including structured, semi-structured, transactional, clinical, claims, or partner data. 
• 5+ years of experience building governed data models, datasets, marts, semantic layers, or other reusable data products for downstream technical and business consumers. 
• 3+ years of experience establishing or operating data governance and data-quality practices, including ownership, stewardship, lineage, documentation, data definitions, access controls, and issue management.
