TITLE: Data Governance and Quality Lead – Data Governance, Data Quality, Data Lineage
LOCATION: West Jordan, UT – On-site for the first 90 days, then hybrid with 2 days from home each week
PAY: Target pay for this role is between $75 and $90 per hour but may vary based on experience
ENGAGEMENT TYPE: Contract
DURATION: Contract expected to last 6-12 months, with option to extend
What You’ll Be Doing
This is a Senior level Data Governance and Quality Lead position focused on establishing the foundational governance, ownership, quality, and operating practices needed to create greater trust in enterprise data and support major technology modernization initiatives.
This is a hands-on transformation role rather than a policy-only governance position. You’ll work across technology and business teams to understand how critical data is created, changed, interpreted, and consumed; establish ownership and stewardship; define authoritative Systems of Record; build practical data catalog and business glossary capabilities; and establish sustainable data-quality, lineage, issue-management, and escalation practices.
You’ll also partner with teams supporting ERP, reporting, integrations, data platforms, and other modernization initiatives to identify data dependencies and migration risks. The initial engagement will focus on establishing a practical governance foundation and operating model that can ultimately be sustained by permanent organizational owners and data stewards.
