The Senior Tax assessor Data Steward is the Data Fluency Leader and Value Enabler for Cotality's core tax assessor data assets. This is a strategic, high-impact role responsible for moving Data Stewardship beyond basic curation into AI Enablement and Enterprise Confidence.

As a dual role, you are the highest-level expert in data fluency across the property domain and the data supply chain. You act as the primary Business/Technology Liaison , responsible for ensuring all products, models, and decisions built on Cotality's data have a strong foundation of data that is fit-for-use and has consistent interpretation.

Your core mandate is to fundamentally unlock the strategic use of our tax assessor data assets for the business by enforcing governance principles and enabling effective data consumption.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Standard Advocacy & Policy Enablement: Support the creation and maintenance of the Data Stewardship Standard Handbook , which rolls up to the overall Data Governance Policy. Your focus will be on operationalizing the spirit of the rule to accelerate business value, not on process constraints.

  • Partner with Client teams to translate feedback loops into systemic data fixes; lead the prioritization of root-cause improvements over manual patches to ensure long-term integrity and trust in Cotality's core assets.
  • Partnering with Data Quality and Engineering teams to define and continually refine quality metrics and scorecards based on tax assessor domain knowledge.
  • Proactively driving action plans for tax assessor data improvement based on quality scores, assessing urgency (e.g., KBE status), and recommending whether to adjust governance rules or the data itself.
  • Strategically cataloging and classifying all tax assessor data (including unused or exploratory data) based on its current and potentia
