Job Title: Data Governance Project Lead
Contract Opportunity
Location: Remote
Position Summary:
What if you could use your project and change management skills to enhance and protect a product that impacts the way communities’ hospitals, homes, sports stadiums, and schools across the world are built? Construction impacts the lives of nearly everyone in the world, and yet it’s also one of the world’s least digitized industries, not to mention one of the most dangerous. That’s why we’re looking for a talented and well-rounded Data Governance professional to join our journey to revolutionize a historically underserved industry.
As a Data Governance Senior Product Owner, you’ll interact and partner closely with various stakeholders across the company to align data governance priorities, scope, requirements, accountability, deliverables, and change management imperatives. If you demonstrate strong leadership, prioritization, and communication skills to consistently deliver outstanding results on-time and in line with established budget, and you are a team player with a natural curiosity about the ever-evolving data regulatory and data management landscape —we’d love to hear from you.
This position will report to our Senior Director of Enterprise Data Governance & Talent Analytics, and have strong partnerships with our IT GRC, Data Privacy, P&T Security, and Legal teams.
