  • Identify and mitigate data-related risks while improving controls for sensitive and strategic information

  • Define and track KPIs that measure data health and maturity, using metrics to drive continuous improvement

  • Develop and deliver training programs to boost enterprise-wide data literacy and cultural alignment

  • Inspire, educate, and lead others toward a more data-driven, insight-led organization

What You’ll Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Information Management, Computer Science, Data Science, or related field (Master’s preferred)

  • Minimum 10 years of experience in enterprise data management domains such as data governance, data protection/security, data architecture, master data management, data integration, metadata, and analytics

  • Expertise in data frameworks, tools, and technologies, including data catalogs, DQ tools, MDM, warehouses, and data lakes

  • Familiarity with SQL/NoSQL databases and modern data integration platforms

  • Deep understanding of data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and related compliance practices

  • Proven success managing complex cross-functional projects and influencing at all levels of an organization

  • Strong critical thinking, business acumen, and communication skills—able to align technical initiatives with enterprise goals

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in manufacturing or industrial environments

  • Certifications such as CDMP or DGSP

  • Familiarity with enterprise systems including Oracle ERP, Salesforce CRM, and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
