We're looking for a Data Operations Lead to take ownership of the health, reliability, and integrity of patient data across our Patient CRM ecosystem.

• Keep clean records of decisions and stewardship performance

Data Cleanup & Remediation

• Own the strategy for cleaning up and correcting problematic data
• Stand up a formal "data detox" process

Change Management

• Act as business owner for production data change requests
• Assess impact and manage approvals across CRM, portals, MDM, and integrated platforms
• Make sure every production change follows governance protocol

Archival, Backup & Recovery

• Set business requirements for archival, retention, backup, and recovery
• Keep these processes aligned with compliance, legal, privacy, and continuity needs

Launch Readiness

• Support new product launches by confirming data readiness ahead of go-live
• Ensure monitoring, stewardship, and reporting are in place before deployment
• Lead operational acceptance activities

Governance Execution

• Carry out governance policy set by the Data Governance team
• Confirm adherence to standards and controls
• Provide audit evidence and reporting support
• Keep SLA and KPI performance on track

Qualifications

• 8-10+ years across data operations, data quality, CRM support, stewardship, and incident management

Preferred

• Background working with patient, provider, or other regulated healthcare data

• Familiarity with MDM and patient identity management
• Working knowledge of HIPAA, PHI handling, and audit processes
