Job Title: Service360 Data Governance Lead

Job Type: Contract

Job Location: Remote

Position Summary

The Service360 Data Governance Lead is responsible for establishing and executing the data governance and data readiness strategy required for successful deployment of the Service360 platform. This role serves as the primary liaison among Business, IT, data, and implementation teams to define master data requirements, improve data quality, govern data ownership, and support successful master and transactional data conversion at go-live.

The role partners across the Service360 and other project teams to create a trusted, scalable, and sustainable data foundation. The position leads business alignment, data ownership, cleansing, transformation, reconciliation, cutover readiness, and post-go-live stabilization activities.

Primary Outcomes

• Business-approved requirements and ownership are established for each critical Service360 data domain.
• Master data is cleansed, standardized, deduplicated, and ready for migration.
• Transactional data transformation rules preserve business meaning and support Day 1 operations.
• Migration results are reconciled to source systems and approved by accountable business owners.
• Data-related go-live risks, defects, and decisions are visible, governed, and resolved through defined escalation paths.
• New governance processes are transitioned into ongoing business operations.

Key Responsibilities

Master Data Strategy and Governance

• Implement the Service360 Program data governance framework, decision rights, and operating cadence.
• Partner with Business Process Owners, Data Domain Owners, and data stewards to identify accountability for Customer, contact, product, asset, territory, resource, inventory, and other critical data domains required to support the Service360 program.
• Facilitate agreement on business definitions, data standards, naming conventions, lifecycle rules, required attributes, and quality thresholds.
• Identify gaps in governance processes for data creation, maintenance, approval, exception management, and retirement. Facilitate alignment with Data Domain Owners to close gaps.
• Maintain the data issue, decision, and risk backlog, including escalation and resolution tracking.
• Develop data quality metrics and governance scorecards for program and leadership review in preparation for go-live activities.

Business Requirements and Data Readiness

• Lead working sessions with business teams to define master and transactional data requirements by process and workstream.
• Translate business needs into user stories to direct the source-to-target mappings, transformation requirements, quality rules, reconciliation criteria, and acceptance criteria.
• Ensure data requirements remain aligned with Service360 process design, Salesforce object configuration, integrations, reporting, and Day 1 scope.
• Maintain traceability from business requirements through mapping, transformation, test evidence, reconciliation, and business approval.
• Facilitate cross-functional decisions and alignment where Customer, product, asset, service, inventory, or financial data spans multiple systems, business units, and other projects.

Master Data Cleansing and Quality Management

• Lead data profiling and quality assessments across legacy sources.
• Identify, quantify, prioritize, and remediate data issues that could affect migration, integration, reporting, compliance, or business continuity.
• Coordinate business-led cleansing of duplicate Customers and contacts, incomplete assets, invalid product hierarchies, inconsistent identifiers, missing ownership, and inaccurate territory or organizational assignments.
• Define repeatable cleansing rules, exception handling, and evidence requirements.
• Monitor progress through data quality dashboards, issue logs, readiness checkpoints, and business sign-offs.
• Ensure approved cleansed datasets are controlled and protected from regression before final conversion.

Transactional Data Transformation and Migration

• Partner with architects, migration leads, integration teams, and functional workstreams to define the migration and conversion approach.
• Lead business review and approval of source-to-target mappings and transformation specifications.
• Define how open and historical transactions will be converted, summarized, referenced, archived, or retained in legacy systems.
• Ensure transformation rules address status mapping, ownership, dates, units of measure, currencies, relationships, identifiers, and legacy-to-target cross-references.
• Coordinate mock conversions, dress rehearsals, migration validation, and reconciliation cycles.
• Confirm that migrated records and relationships support approved end-to-end business scenarios.

Go-Live, Cutover, and Hypercare

• Own the data workstream activities within the integrated cutover plan.
• Define cutover sequencing, data freezes, delta conversion, reconciliation checkpoints, approval gates, and rollback decision criteria.
• Coordinate final migration validation and business-owner sign-off.
• Ensure data defects are documented, prioritized, resolved, accepted, or deferred through an approved governance process.
• Support production validation and hypercare for data quality, conversion, integration, and reconciliation issues.
• Transition data ownership, stewardship routines, controls, and unresolved actions into the ongoing operating model.
• Governance: Data governance framework, domain ownership matrix, stewardship model, decision log.
• Quality: Data profiling results, cleansing plans, issue backlog, quality scorecards.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Business Administration, Data Management, Engineering, or a related discipline.

• Experience with Oracle ERP environments, enterprise customer master data, and ERP-to-CRM integrations.
• Knowledge of recognized data governance, master data management, and data quality practices.
