Job Description
Sinclair Broadcast Group (SBG) is seeking a full-time Director of Enterprise Data Governance to join our growing company and work under the direction of our Executive Director of Enterprise Data & Insights (ED&I), in partnership with other data leaders focused on Business Intelligence, Data Science, MDM, and Data Architecture.
The primary mission of the Enterprise Data & Insights team is to lead Sinclair into the future by generating Data Value that will fundamentally transform the business. This position will play a key role in helping define, scale, and mature enterprise data governance capabilities that improve the quality, usability, accessibility, and trustworthiness of Sinclair's data assets.
This leadership role will be responsible for continuing to operationalize the existing enterprise-wide data governance strategy across Sinclair, with an initial emphasis on high-value business domains where trusted data is essential to financial performance, operational efficiency, reporting, and decision-making. As part of the Enterprise Data Governance Office (EDGO), this role will bring together business process knowledge, systems understanding, stakeholder relationships, and governance discipline to improve the quality, consistency, usability, and accountability of enterprise data.
The ideal candidate is a collaborative, business-minded, trusted leader with strong business acumen, deep understanding of enterprise processes and systems, and the ability to connect people, data, and decisions. This role is especially suited for someone who knows how data is created, used, reconciled, reported, and challenged across business functions, and who can use that knowledge to help Sinclair manage data as a strategic asset and motivate others to participate on the journey!
Responsibilities:
Data Governance

Establish enterprise governance principles, policies, standards, roles, decision rights, and accountability structures across priority data domains.
Partner with ED&I leadership and business stakeholders to align governance priorities with enterprise business goals.
Identify and prioritize critical data domains, critical data elements, authoritative sources, and enterprise data risks.
Translate business priorities and data pain points into practical governance standards, controls, and improvement plans.
Governance Operating Model & Stewardship
Operationalize the data governance framework through clear roles, forums, workflows, and stewardship practices.
Build and support a network of business data owners, technical data owners, and data stewards across the organization.
Chair or facilitate governance forums, data councils, working groups, and decision-making bodies.
Define escalation paths and issue resolution processes for enterprise data governance matters.
Promote alignment between data owners, data stewards, technology teams, and governance stakeholders to drive policy adherence and issue resolution.
Data Quality & Trust
Establish enterprise data quality standards, measures, scorecards, controls, and remediation processes.
Partner with business and technical teams to identify data quality gaps, root causes, and sustainable remediation plans.
Track and report data quality trends, risks, issues, and improvement progress to leadership.
Drive accountability for data quality across business domains and enterprise platforms.
Promote consistent data practices that improve confidence in reporting, analytics, operational processes, and decision-making.
Policy, Risk, & Compliance Alignment
Develop and maintain enterprise data governance policies, standards, procedures, and supporting documentation.
Partner with legal, privacy, information security, compliance, and audit teams to align governance practices with corporate and regulatory requirements.
Support data classification, responsible data use, access management, retention, privacy, and security practices.
Identify and communicate governance-related risks and recommend mitigation strategies.
Ensure governance processes support ethical, secure, compliant, and effective use of data across Sinclair.
Leadership, Enablement & Change Management
Serve as a senior advocate for enterprise data governance and data as a strategic asset.
Develop communications, training, playbooks, and adoption strategies to embed governance practices into business and technology workflows.
Influence senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams without relying solely on direct authority.
Manage, mentor, and develop data governance team members as the function grows.
Foster a culture of accountability, transparency, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, Data Management, Computer Science, Analytics, or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
10+ years of experience leading business operations, finance operations, data governance, data management, enterprise process improvement, analytics, or a related function.
5+ years of leadership experience managing teams, programs, or enterprise-level initiatives.
Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives involving business processes, systems, reporting, data quality, controls, and stakeholder alignment.
Strong understanding of data governance frameworks, data stewardship, metadata management, data quality, master data management, data lineage, and data lifecycle management.
Experience working with Finance, billing, credit, collections, customer, revenue, or related operational data domains.
Proven ability to build trusted relationships across business and technology teams and influence outcomes without relying solely on direct authority.
Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to identify root causes, clarify ownership, document processes, and drive sustainable improvements.
Ability to translate business needs into data definitions, standards, controls, stewardship expectations, and governance processes.
Strong executive communication, facilitation, documentation, and change management skills.
Demonstrated commitment to data quality, accountability, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.
Preferred Qualifications:
15+ years of experience at Sinclair or in a complex media, broadcast, advertising, finance, or operations environment.
Deep knowledge of Sinclair business processes, systems, stakeholders, and data flows, especially within Finance-related domains.
Experience leading teams or enterprise initiatives involving billing, credit, collections, revenue operations, customer data, financial reporting, or related business processes.
Experience participating in system implementations, process redesign, data cleanup, reporting improvement, audit, compliance, or controls initiatives.

Experience in media, advertising, broadcast, digital, sports, entertainment, or another data-rich consumer-facing industry.
Experience with enterprise change management, training, communications, and governance adoption strategies.
Familiarity with cloud data platforms, data lakes, data warehouses, master data management platforms, data governance tools, and modern analytics ecosystems.
Why Join Us
