Senior Manager of Data Governance

WHY DO WE NEED YOU?

We are looking for a Senior Manager of Data Governance who can turn vision into reality and help us build a strong, scalable, and business-aligned data foundation. In this role, you will be instrumental in leading the execution and continuous improvement of our data governance capabilities --ensuring our data is trusted, accessible, secure, and ready to power smarter decisions across the organization.
 
You are someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution. You bring hands-on experience implementing governance practices and understand how to translate high-level frameworks into practical processes, tools, and outcomes. You will partner closely with both business and technology stakeholders to operationalize governance initiatives and embed them into everyday workflows, enabling consistent data definitions, improved quality, and reliable reporting.
 
We need your expertise to drive the adoption of a comprehensive data governance framework --from policies and standards to measurable KPIs and maturity metrics. Your ability to influence without direct authority will be critical as you work across domains, guiding leaders, mentoring data stewards, and fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and data literacy.
 
In this role, you will:
·    Lead the development and ongoing optimization of data governance policies, standards, and best practices aligned to business goals
·    Partner with domain leaders and the PMO to prioritize and execute governance initiatives that drive tangible value
·    Establish and manage governance processes for data definition, quality, lifecycle, and access management
·    Collaborate with data stewards, business owners, and IT to define clear ownership, roles, and accountability
·    Facilitate governance forums and working sessions that drive alignment, engagement, and continuous improvement
·    Advance enterprise data quality and master data management efforts, including issue resolution and remediation
·    Partner with legal, security, and compliance to ensure data privacy, access controls, and regulatory alignment
·    Support and expand the use of governance tools such as data catalogs, business glossaries, lineage, and data quality platforms
·    Enable transparency and usability of data through improved metadata management, modeling, and data flow optimization
·    Develop training and education programs that elevate data literacy and empower teams to effectively manage and use data
 
Your practical knowledge of MDM, metadata, and data quality frameworks will help us build reliable, reusable data assets that serve a wide range of users while maintaining high performance and proper access controls. You will also play a key role in advising data engineering and BI teams on scalable data modeling approaches and governance-aligned solutions.
