We are on an exciting journey to improve the quality, clarity, and consistency of our payments, wires and lending data so business teams can make informed, timely decisions. This role supports that mission by helping document how data is created, defined, and used across the organization.

No prior data governance, technical, or systems experience is required. Training and ongoing support are provided. This role does not involve software development, coding, or the creation of reports and dashboards.

• Capture and organize business input related to data definitions, business rules, usage, and expectations
• Help document and maintain identified data owners and key data elements across processes
• Ask thoughtful questions to identify gaps, inconsistencies, or unclear processes that may impact data quality or understanding
• Support data quality and issue management activities, including tracking issues, coordinating follow-ups, and documenting outcomes
• Participate in working sessions focused on improving the management of and understanding of loan data
• Support process improvement efforts by helping document current-state processes and highlighting areas of confusion or inefficiency
• Learn and apply data governance standards, policies, and best practices in day-to-day work
