Job description

The Kestra team has over 400 years of experience in the external and internal cardiac medical device markets. The company was founded in 2014 by industry leaders inspired by the opportunity to unite modern wearable technologies with proven device therapies. Kestra’s solutions combine high quality and technical performance with a wearable design that provides the greatest regard for patient comfort and dignity. Innovating versatile new ways to deliver care, Kestra is helping patients and their care teams harmoniously monitor, manage, and protect life.

The Senior Manager, Enterprise Data Platform & Governance owns Kestra’s enterprise data platform and the standards that govern how data is used across the company. Reporting to the CIO, this role leads the transition to Microsoft Fabric, defines the enterprise data architecture, and operationalizes the Master Data Management (MDM) program. The role sets the rules, certified data models, and guardrails that allow analysts embedded in business functions to build their own reports and insights safely and consistently. This is a platform and governance leadership role, not a report development role. The Senior Manager directs outsourced engineering, administration, and development resources today, with the opportunity to build an internal team as the platform matures and serves as a trusted advisor to functional leaders as Kestra builds the governed data foundation required for AI, automation, and its evolving enterprise systems.
