• Leverage Informatica MDM, CDGC, and SILK architecture to execute data governance and quality monitoring; identify and recommend additional tools, services, or capabilities to address data measurement and reporting gaps.
• Partner with business stakeholders to translate business requirements into functional and technical data quality specifications.

What you'' do

• Facilitate system and data flow mapping within the data governance platform, including documentation of data lineage, system interfaces, and associated data policies.
• Lead proactive initiatives to prevent data quality issues from propagating to downstream systems, reporting, and analytics environments.
• Define, track, and communicate data quality KPIs, scorecards, issue trends, and remediation progress to stakeholders and governance forums.
• Perform data analysis on large and complex data sets to identify trends, root causes of data quality issues, and continuous improvement opportunities.
• Define and evolve the enterprise data quality operating model in partnership with the Data Governance Office, ensuring alignment with organizational strategy and governance objectives.
• Mentor data stewards and domain leads on data quality standards, tooling, roles, and best practices to drive consistent adoption across data domains.
• Provide thought leadership, frameworks, and best practices for the effective use of data management and governance tools to deliver scalable, sustainable data governance and data quality solutions.
