You will support the design and implementation of data governance policies and procedures to elevate data quality standards and processes across various data domains. The Data Governance Lead will collaborate closely with data owners, data stewards, data consumers, and business stakeholders to pinpoint data quality issues, determine root causes, recommend solutions, and oversee their remediation.

• Design, implement, and automate a robust data control framework, using AI tools and advanced techniques to create scalable solutions. This will include developing and implementing data quality checks, rules, and metrics while proactively identifying new validations to prevent issues before they arise, shifting our data management approach from reactive to proactive.

• Lead the entire process from creating Jira tickets for data quality issues to collaborating with cross-functional teams, ensuring issues are resolved with proper root cause analysis (RCA) and remediation plans.

• Identify and implement process improvements, encompassing workflows and tools. This self-starter role requires the ability to quickly identify an opportunity and execute on it without delay.

• Proactively identify and define new data validations and checks to prevent quality issues before they arise, shifting our approach from reactive to proactive data management.

• Take responsibility for data source identification, controls monitoring, and the overall data quality framework and management.

• Understand downstream impacts and effectively communicate data changes.

• Influence other teams to adopt data governance processes and procedures.

• Proven expertise in SQL for data querying, analysis, and manipulation.

• Excellent problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

• Ability to distill complex data findings into actionable recommendations.

• Strong communication (verbal and written) and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.

• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams across multiple time zones.

• Strong understanding of data management concepts with hands-on experience using Snowflake.

• Demonstrated ability to identify, analyze, and resolve complex data quality issues, with strong attention to detail.

• Comfortable working under tight deadlines in a high-growth environment.

• Proven ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Preferred Skills:

• Understanding of various data domains and their specific data quality challenges (e.g., billing data, contracts data, financial data).

• Certifications in data management or data quality (e.g., CDMP) are a plus.

• Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python) for data analysis and automation is a plus.

• Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau) to create data quality dashboards.
