• Define and maintain policies, standards, and procedures for data quality, metadata, classification, access, and lifecycle; translate policy into actionable controls across platforms.
• Develop and shepherd the run state processes for Data Governance across the enterprise.

 

Controls in Platform (Databricks, Unity Catalog, Informatica)

 

• Implement guardrails using Unity Catalog (ownership, privileges, row/column access, tags/classifications, lineage) and Informatica CDGC (business glossary, steward workflows, approvals).
• Partner with Security/Risk/Compliance/Audit to map policy to controls and ensure audit‑ready evidence.

 

Data Quality & Issue Management

 

• Lead data quality disciplines: define dimensions and rules, instrument monitoring in Databricks pipelines (bronze/silver/gold), and publish quality scorecards.
• Run end-to-end issue management; ensure durable fixes in upstream processes.

 

Metadata, Catalog & Lineage

 

• Govern enterprise glossary, technical metadata, classifications, PII/PHI tags, and end‑to‑end lineage.
• Drive adoption and completeness in CDGC and ensure Unity Catalog lineage/tags stay aligned to enterprise definitions, report coverage for critical data elements.

 

Enablement, Reporting & Continuous Improvement

 

• Deliver training, playbooks, and office hours to grow literacy and accelerate self‑service within guardrails.
• Provide executive‑ready dashboards for governance KPIs (quality, glossary coverage, lineage completeness, policy adoption, audit readiness); run periodic maturity assessments and prioritize improvements.

 

Skills and Experience

 

Education

 

• Bachelor's degree required (Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Management, or related field preferred).
• Certifications a plus (e.g., CDMP, DCAM familiarity).

 

Experience

 

• 7+ years in data governance/data management (senior‑level impact).
• Healthcare experience (2+ years preferred) with HIPAA/PHI exposure.

 

Required Skills

 

• Proven ability to design/evolve frameworks and RACI/decision rights, run councils, and drive cross‑functional adoption.
• Translate policies into platform controls in Unity Catalog and Informatica CDGC; align with Security/Risk/Compliance and audit needs.
• Define DQ rules/SLAs, instrument monitoring in Databricks pipelines, and lead remediation to closure with measurable impact.
• Operationalize glossary, stewardship workflows, classifications, and lineage in CDGC and Unity Catalog, with coverage metrics for CDEs.
• Executive‑grade storytelling, stakeholder facilitation, and influence‑without‑authority; produce dashboards, playbooks, and training that stick.

 

Preferred Skills

 

• Familiarity with IDMC services (quality/integration) complementing CDGC/MDM and with BI tooling (Power BI, Tableau, Databricks AI/BI) for stewardship scorecards.
