Job Description:

Data is the lifeblood of Cotality's business. While many organizations relegate data governance to a back-office compliance and documentation exercise, Cotality views data governance as a primary catalyst for growth, innovation, and competitive advantage.

As the Senior Director of Enterprise Data & Model Governance, you will be the strategic leader responsible for operationalizing and scaling our global data governance framework. Reporting to the Chief Data & Analytics Officer, you will lead the execution of our enterprise data strategy, transforming our vast data ecosystem to solidify our position as a premium information services and technology pioneer. If you are a pragmatic, business-minded leader who can translate complex data ecosystems into highly monetizable, trustworthy, and scalable assets, this impactful role is for you.

It is vital that Cotality abides by all pertinent federal and state regulations and contractual obligations with our clients. Indeed it's a differentiator for us.

  • Stakeholder Alignment & Collaboration: Partner closely with business unit leaders and executive stakeholders to identify critical data needs, aligning governance priorities with business-line KPIs and demonstrating measurable ROI on data initiatives.

  • Manage the Governance Ecosystem: Lead and optimize the Enterprise Data Governance Council cadence. Prepare and deliver data-driven insights and maturity metrics for executive committees and senior leadership.

  • Advanced Curation & AI Enablement: Operationalize the logic for derived, reference, and inferred data techniques. Partner with Advanced Analytics and AI/ML teams to maintain robust model review frameworks and facilitate ethical data commercialization.

  • Drive a Self-Service Culture: Establish clear accountability for data documentation. Lead the enterprise-wide transition to a self-service data marketplace by ensuring data dictionaries and catalogs are comprehensively tagged, searchable, and accessible.

Enterprise Risk, Ethics & Policy Enforcement

  • Modern Risk Management: Collaborate with Regulatory, Legal, and Compliance teams to operationalize responses to emerging global data regulations, permissible use frameworks, and data privacy policies.

  • Data Intelligence Technology: Serve as the programmatic owner and champion for the adoption, maturity, and automation of the Collibra Data Governance Platform and associated business process workflows.
