You’ll ensure metadata quality, drive adoption of governance platforms, support data product oversight, and provide measurable business value through strong collaboration with data owners, stewards, engineers, and business leaders. 

This role blends technical data acumen with execution rigor—supporting metadata and data quality tooling, catalog enablement, and governance operationalization at enterprise scale. 

Key Responsibilities

1. Metadata & Data Quality Enablement

• Ensure consistent ingestion, stewardship, and enrichment of metadata into the enterprise data catalog (Alation)

• Operationalize persona-based ownership models for enterprise systems and domains. 
• Support stewardship records and accountability mapping for Critical Data Elements (CDEs) across BU and Corporate teams. 

3. Data Product Governance

• Support integration of governance checkpoints within the data product lifecycle—from design to retirement. 
• Ensure ownership, metadata quality, and lineage documentation are complete and actionable. 
• Track KPIs related to asset trust, adoption, reuse, and business alignment. 

4. Enterprise Data Catalog Adoption

• Lead onboarding and enablement for catalog users—data stewards, engineers, analysts, and product teams. 
• Drive metadata enrichment efforts and monitor adoption through usage dashboards and maturity metrics. 
• Serve as the primary point of contact for metadata support and training across the enterprise. 

5. Scorecards, Dashboards & Value Realization

• Maintain DG maturity scorecards, trust coverage metrics, and operational dashboards. 
• Leverage visualization tools (Power BI, Tableau) to track adoption, quality indicators, and impact. 
• Collaborate with business partners to document value outcomes, including efficiency, compliance, and risk reduction. 

6. Governance Enablement & Communications

• Deliver training and communications to reinforce governance standards, roles, and accountability expectations. 
• Lead community engagement sessions and onboarding to strengthen literacy and ongoing alignment.
