Assist Dir, Data Governance

Responsibilities:

• Own and evolve the Finance data governance operating model (policies, standards, roles, workflows, controls) to drive consistent, enterprise-grade practices.
• Manage and improve governance bodies and represent Finance in enterprise forums to align priorities, decisions, and risk management.

What Success Looks Like:

• Clear visibility into upcoming changes, proactive impact assessments, and well-timed releases that consistently safeguard month-end close and financial reporting.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Data Management, Finance, Accounting, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proven experience implementing and operating change management frameworks in enterprise environments.
• Hands-on experience administering data catalog, metadata, and lineage tools (e.g., Collibra, Alation, Informatica), including governance workflows and impact analysis.
