Résumé du poste

Johnson & Johnson is seeking a Commercial Data Governance Lead for EMEA, covering Surgery & Electrophysiology. You will build and sustain trust in commercial data, own governance across markets, and drive data quality and accountability in a senior, cross-functional role.

The position requires a strong track record in data governance, fluent English, and the ability to align diverse stakeholders to a practical data discipline that adds business value.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in information systems, Data Science, Business, or a related field or equivalent experience.
• 4+ years of experience in a data-focused role within a commercial environment - data operations, data stewardship, data analytics, or similar.
• A Proven track record in data governance. You have built, operationalized, or run a governance framework before.
• Hands-on experience in data quality. Defining standards, monitoring adherence, driving root-cause analysis, and coordinating the implementation of preventative controls.
• Exposure to commercial data systems and landscapes is a strong advantage. Familiarity with ERP, CRM, pricing, or master data environments will accelerate your impact.
• Experience coordinating or working alongside Data Stewards, Data Administrators, or similar data practitioner communities.
• Exceptional communication and facilitation skills. You can run a governance forum, write a crisp decision log, and follow up on actions without being asked twice.
• Natural ability to lead through influence. You bring people with you through passion, clarity, and credibility, not authority.

Responsabilités

• Operationalize and maintain the end-to-end data governance framework across all critical commercial data domains in the EMEA region, ensuring it is consistently applied, embedded in ways of working, and felt across markets rather than sitting in a document.
• Own the governance calendar: schedule, prepare, host, and facilitate data governance forums. Bringing the right stakeholders together, driving structured conversations, ensuring every decision is documented and every action followed up to closure.
• Coordinate Data Stewards and Administrators across the region. Providing functional direction, aligning their efforts to the framework, and ensuring consistency across markets and domains.
• Own the core governance artefacts, such as business glossaries, data dictionaries, lineage documentation, ownership registers, and retention schedules. Ensuring execution teams maintain and update them to the required standard, and holding them accountable for accuracy, completeness, and timeliness.
• Monitor adherence to governance and data quality standards by tracking exceptions, escalating breaches, and driving root-cause conversations to ensure issues are resolved structurally, not just symptomatically.
• Ensure governance requirements are reflected in system designs, data models, and change control processes. Coordinating with System Owners (Business and IT) to keep standards embedded.
• Act as the central connector across a diverse stakeholder landscape. Driving awareness and adoption of governance standards across the region, ensuring governance conversations happen across silos and not within them, adapting style and framing to audiences of varying data literacy and seniority without losing the substance of the message.
• Surface patterns, gaps, and improvement opportunities identified through day-to-day execution. Feeding grounded input into the evolution of the governance strategy.
