Expert Data Governance Advisor - GC1691\-09

Overview:

• The client is looking for an advisor to help its data governance team move from intent to operations: its practices and frameworks partly exist and now need to be deployed, documented and embedded across the organization.
  
  


• The role covers data quality, protection, value creation and lifecycle.
  
  


• A large part of the mandate is about change support: helping business units, IT teams and the stewardship network take ownership of the owner, delegate and steward roles.
  
  


• The qualifications accept several backgrounds (data management, quality, compliance, business intelligence, organizational transformation), but concrete contribution to implementing governance practices is what separates candidates.

They can explain these concepts to both business and technical stakeholders and exercise influential leadership in a transformation context.
