• Set the standard. You'll define data naming conventions, definitions, and classification structures that the whole organization can rely on.
• Build and maintain data dictionaries, glossaries, and catalogs so information is always easy to find and understand.
• Put the right guardrails in place through governance policies, workflows, and access controls that protect data integrity and security.
• Keep an eye on data quality over time and step in to fix issues before they become bigger problems.
• Be a trusted partner to business stakeholders (business users, implementation team, functional consultants, steering committee, company leadership) helping them resolve data issues and making sure data reflects real business needs.
• Spot opportunities to simplify. If something is more complicated than it needs to be, you'll find it and fix it.
• Help the whole team level up by educating colleagues on data ownership and governance best practices.
