We are looking for a Senior Manager / Associate Director to lead delivery workstreams within a large-scale enterprise Data Governance, Architecture & Controls Program.
Responsibilities:
- Lead pods focused on data lineage documentation (consumption through ADS to system of origin), target-state ADS landscape and architecture design, and aggregation layer controls including DQ rules, variance analysis, and anomaly detection.
- Shape the data modeling and architecture decisions that underpin the target-state ADS landscape, working with enterprise architecture to evolve domain and subdomain taxonomy.
- Conduct SME interviews across engineering and business data offices, translate enterprise data management policy into actionable delivery and build plans, and manage a small team of analysts through design and implementation.
- Operate as the bridge between engineering, enterprise architecture, and data office stakeholders, and present findings and recommendations directly to senior client leadership.
- Define and standardize repeatable playbooks, templates, and execution frameworks for data lineage harvesting and Authoritative Data Source (ADS) onboarding to ensure consistency across multiple pods.
- Collaborate with Enterprise Architecture and Tooling teams to evaluate, select, and drive the adoption of data governance and lineage platforms.
- Establish, monitor, and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) and operational metrics reflecting the progress of lineage coverage, ADS compliance, and data quality improvement to senior stakeholders.
- 8 years in Data Management, Data Governance, or Data Architecture, ideally in financial services.
- Strong grounding in data modeling and data architecture — conceptual/logical modeling, domain-driven design, and Analytical Data Store (ADS) patterns.
- Hands-on experience with data lineage (fine- and coarse-grained), data quality frameworks, and the design and implementation of data controls.
- Ability to interpret and operationalize enterprise data management policy.
- Familiarity with cloud data platforms (GCP preferred) sufficient to plan, scope, and oversee build and deployment work.
- Strong executive presence — comfortable leading SME interviews and presenting to VP stakeholders.
- Proven ability to work across engineering, architecture, and business teams as a connector and translator.
