This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role responsible for translating the University’s data governance vision and strategy into practical policies, procedures, standards, documentation, workflows, and measurable outcomes across the University’s campuses.

This position will establish and facilitate data governance councils, domain working groups, steward communities, and other forums that promote consistent data governance practices.
