Senior Manager, Enterprise Stewardship & Standards

Build our future together:

The Sr. Manager, Enterprise Stewardship & Standards establishes and maintains the foundational semantic and accountability layer of the enterprise data stewardship function. This role leads the enterprise glossary and canonical definitions for cross-domain planning concepts, documents the business rules governing shared planning data, and clarifies steward and data-owner accountability through RACI alignment. The role facilitates cross-functional working forums to drive consensus on shared definitions and standards, and prepares decision records and escalation packages when domains cannot resolve differences on their own. Reporting to the Director, Data Stewardship, this position operationalizes the standards and definitions pillar of the enterprise stewardship operating model and is the first dedicated team member supporting the newly established stewardship function.

• Support DADS (Data Analytics & Data Science) by ensuring canonical definitions and business rules are correctly and consistently reflected in enterprise analytics, data products, and AI/ML initiatives.
• Track and report on glossary coverage, standards adoption, and forum outcomes, providing input to the broader stewardship roadmap and operating-model maturity.
