Data Governance & Enablement Lead

​​​​​​​About the Role

We’re looking for a Data Governance & Enablement Lead to ensure our business can fully trust, understand, and use the data that drives decisions.
This role establishes the standards, practices, and systems that make enterprise intelligence reliable, consistent, and actionable across all teams.

Equal parts strategist, product owner, and coach — you’ll build a governed data ecosystem where data is:

  • Aligned with business outcomes

  • Managed as a product

  • Secure and properly accessed

  • Documented and discoverable

  • Measured for impact


What You’ll Do

Data Governance & Trust

  • Define and maintain enterprise metric lineage and semantic consistency

  • Establish and enforce data access, quality, and usage policies

  • Build scalable governance frameworks that support federated data ownership

Data Enablement & Insights

  • Partner with GTM Ops, FP&A, Support Ops, and Product Ops to prioritize high-impact data initiatives

  • Lead BI enablement and drive adoption through training, documentation, and data literacy programs

  • Create playbooks and best practices that accelerate data-driven decision-making

Enterprise Integration

  • Align governance with company operating rhythms (OKRs, forecasting, performance tracking)

  • Ensure data reflects business value, cost, and customer outcomes

  • Support AI readiness by strengthening data provenance and model trust

Leadership & Influence

  • Lead cross-functional governance initiatives and data certification processes

  • Define decision rights and roles around enterprise data

  • Mentor analysts and technical stakeholders on best practices for data stewardship


What You Bring

Required Qualifications

  • 8–12+ years in data governance, analytics enablement, BI strategy, or a related discipline

  • Proven success implementing and scaling governance programs in complex environments

  • Strong knowledge of data architecture, lineage, and semantic modeling

  • Excellent communication and facilitation skills — ability to influence without direct authority

  • Ability to connect enterprise outcomes to data and information requirements

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in SaaS environments with product usage and customer health metrics

  • Knowledge of data privacy, compliance, and access controls

  • Familiarity with AI/ML governance, model validation, and bias detection


Why Join Us
You’ll play a critical role in shaping how our organization uses data to power every decision. If you’re passionate about building systems of trust, enabling smarter decisions, and guiding a data-driven culture — we’d love to meet you.
