• Drive governance implementation across manufacturing, operations, supply chain, or enterprise process environments, ensuring solutions are practical, sustainable, and aligned with business workflows.
• Provide expert consultation to functional teams on data governance policy, standards, controls, and implementation approaches.
• Identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, automate, and strengthen data governance processes and controls.
• Define and publish data governance metrics, data quality KPIs, dashboards, and adoption measures to demonstrate business value and governance maturity.
• Engage senior stakeholders to align priorities, resolve issues, communicate progress, and secure decisions required for successful program delivery.
• Prepare clear executive-level updates, recommendations, and presentations for senior leadership reviews.
• Support change management, communication, and adoption activities to embed governance practices into day-to-day business operations.

Requirements
