A bit about us:We are a growing, global industrial manufacturing company, and we're making a major investment in modernizing our technology, data, analytics, and AI capabilities, including a move toward a unified Microsoft-based data environment. As such, we are building out our corporate Data & AI function to support this transformation.
We are seeking an experienced Data & AI Governance Manager to help establish and drive enterprise-wide standards for how data is defined, managed, governed, and used across a complex, multi-business organization.
This is a highly visible, cross-functional role for someone who can combine data governance expertise, program management, change leadership, and strong business partnership skills. You will work across Finance, Sales, Operations, Procurement, Project Management, Engineering, HR, and IT to create consistent data standards and improve the reliability of information used for reporting, analytics, and AI.
Please note: This is not a traditional Data Engineering role. Rather than building data pipelines and platforms, you will establish the standards, ownership, policies, and governance practices that guide how enterprise data is managed and used.
