- Ensure alignment across teams as data governance efforts scale across the enterprise
Required Qualifications
- 7-10 years of senior-level Program Management or Project Management experience

- Strong understanding of data governance concepts, including:
- Data quality and trust
- Data management programs
- Data stewards and operating models
- Data catalogs and metadata management
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical work for non-technical stakeholders and leadership
- Proven ability to manage complex initiatives in fast-moving, evolving environments
Nice to Have

- Background working in large, regulated, or complex enterprise environments
- Strong technical aptitude - the more technical, the better
