• Serve as a steward of organizational data by maintaining awareness of data ownership, usage, and access requirements across teams.

• Review, evaluate, and approve incoming data access requests based on business needs and compliance requirements.

• Partner with stakeholders early in project lifecycles to ensure appropriate data access is established before work begins.

• Own the configuration, quality, and governance of metadata associated with a large-scale content library, including testing, auditing, and validation of metadata changes.
