  • Policy & Standards Definition: Establish and document naming conventions, data classifications, update frequency guidelines, and stewardship responsibilities.
  • Collaboration with Data Stewards & SMEs: Engage data owners, business SMEs, and IT architects to capture, refine, and validate metadata and domain-specific definitions.
  • Federated Model Enablement: Support the federated data model blueprint by ensuring consistent and governed data definitions that can scale across distributed systems.
  • Enablement & Roadmap Planning: Participate in final presentations, roadmap definition sessions, and documentation hand-offs to ensure long-term sustainability of governance processes.
  • Required Skills and Experience

  • Proven experience in data governance, data stewardship, or data management roles
  • Hands-on experience defining metadata models, domain ownership, and data governance RACI structures
  • Strong facilitation and communication skills to lead stakeholder workshops and resolve definitional conflicts
  • Familiarity with federated or distributed data architectures, including conceptual data modeling
  • Ability to document and communicate technical concepts to non-technical audiences
  • Strong analytical and organizational skills with attention to detail and documentation quality
  • Additional Information

  • Competitive health, dental, and vision coverage, HSA and FSA accounts, life and disability insurance, fertility and family planning benefits, and employee assistance and discount programs
  • 11 paid federal holidays and flexible unlimited time off (UTO)
  • Generous 401(k) matching with immediate vesting
  • Flexible career paths – our career tracks provide advancement, mobility, and flexibility as you continue to grow with us
