• Monitor compliance with governance processes, assess performance of controls, and escalate material issues as required.
• Apply strong project management and delivery skills to ensure initiatives are completed on time, within scope, and with stakeholder engagement throughout.

What you'll bring:

• Minimum 3 years of experience in data governance, data management, or a related field, preferably within health or retail industries.
• Experience with data governance tools (i.e. Purview, Alation)
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to influence others effectively.
• Strong collaboration and interpersonal skills to work with diverse stakeholders in a complex business environment.
• Ability to balance risk and compliance requirements with commercial objectives.
• Proven ability to build strong working relationships and achieve objectives.
