Data Governance Lead

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Data Governance Lead based in United States. This role offers the opportunity to build and operationalize a modern data governance capability within a growing data platform organization. You will move beyond traditional governance frameworks by directly implementing standards, controls, and automation across enterprise data products. Working closely with platform engineers and business stakeholders, you will ensure data is trusted, secure, discoverable, and ready for analytics and AI-driven use cases. The position combines data engineering expertise, governance leadership, and strategic thinking to create scalable operating models. You will define governance practices while embedding them into pipelines, catalogs, access controls, and product delivery workflows. As the platform evolves, you will help shape a governance function that enables innovation while maintaining security, compliance, and data quality. This is an opportunity for a hands-on data leader who wants to make governance a core engineering discipline rather than a theoretical framework.
