  • Role Summary
  • Execute the firm's data governance operating model by partnering with business and technology teams to implement enterprise policies and standards across unstructured data (primary focus) and structured data (secondary), including data used for AI and advanced analytics.
  • Support and help monitor the rollout of unstructured data governance practices across key content repositories (e.g., SharePoint/Teams, file shares, and cloud content platforms), ensuring metadata quality, accurate classification and sensitivity labeling, retention readiness, and AI fitness.
  • Ensure unstructured data complies with regulatory, legal, privacy, and records‑management requirements throughout the information lifecycle.
  • Support governance oversight activities for Data Domain teams, including review of data maps, content inventories, metadata documentation, data quality issues, access and security controls, SLAs, and audit, retention, and legal‑hold readiness.
  • Partner with Data Owners, Data Stewards, and technology teams to support the design and implementation of workflows, dashboards, and automation for unstructured data classification, metadata generation, retention controls, access governance, and eDiscovery readiness.
  • Support governance enablement through training by partnering with HR Learning & Development to curate and deliver Data Governance, Data Stewardship, and tool‑specific education.
  • Support Collibra administration and help drive user adoption, including assisting with training and onboarding users, and promoting consistent, effective use of governance tooling.
  • Collaborate with governance technology vendors and support discussions on roadmap enhancements related to unstructured metadata, classification, lineage, and policy enforcement.
  • Support the management and maintenance of internal data products, including unstructured content repositories and AI‑ready metadata assets (e.g., taxonomies, labels, ownership, and classification outputs), coordinating with structured data teams when shared reference data is required.
  • Partner with data platform and cloud engineering teams to contribute to defining governance guardrails for AWS‑based processes that automatically extract, enrich, and register unstructured metadata to support AI‑ready data.
