Read further to learn how you could help make great things possible not only in your community, but around the world. Across the company, we all rely on data to plan work, deliver projects, answer questions, and make decisions. But when data is defined differently from team to team, project to project, or region to region, it becomes harder to trust, harder to reuse, and harder to scale. People spend time reconciling definitions, rebuilding datasets, or explaining what something really means instead of using the data to drive decisions that move work forward. Data Stewardship helps fix this at the source. By clearly defining what our data means, and by creating shared understanding of data for our delivery teams, this role will support turning our data into solutions that our business group and employees can confidently use, reuse, and build upon. Your goal will be to reduce confusion, prevent rework, and make it easier for teams to answer questions for their projects and pursuits without needing to start from scratch every time.
