You will support a central data & analytics governance committee or data community who will be key customers and contributors toward establishing the proper governance guardrails for data and self-serve analytics. Develop a Pipeline for Data Analytics Community Use Cases and Ideas – Coordinating across lines of business to develop a pipeline of prioritized use cases for data which focus on the customer outcome or value desired (the "Why") and the data required to bring it to fruition (the "What"). This will then figure prominently toward development of the technologies needed to enable the use case and support it going forward (the "How"). Ongoing Operations – Coordinating with business line data analytics teams and the data community to ensure we are prioritizing key initiatives, new capabilities and supporting meaningful business outcomes. You will monitor and support the adoption of the governance framework by internal and external project teams, as well as data stewards and owners. You will drive the quality and visibility of the data in the platform through adoption and use of tools such as a data catalog. The ideal candidate is a strong programmatic leader, a polished communicator with expertise in a variety of continuous improvement methods, a strong analytical toolset, and experience working cross-functionally to solve problems with product and process changes.
