•
Manage governance workflows covering data definitions, issues, exceptions, approvals, decisions, and escalations.
•
Drive the resolution of cross-functional data issues in partnership with business and technology teams.
•
Lead onboarding, training, and enablement activities for Data Owners and Data Stewards.
•
Monitor governance decisions, actions, KPIs, and maturity indicators to assess progress and identify improvement opportunities.
•
Develop communication materials, learning content, and adoption plans that strengthen engagement with data governance.
•
Partner with Data Quality, Master Data Management, Enterprise Architecture, Engineering, and business teams to embed governance into delivery processes.
•
Support the expansion of data definition management, lineage visibility, and governed data coverage across key business domains.
•
Identify opportunities to simplify and automate governance workflows.
•
Apply practical governance principles to business data, initially focusing on customer information and progressively covering areas such as products and sales.
