Precisely is seeking a Senior Director of Data Governance to lead enterprise-wide data governance strategy and operations. This is a strategic leadership role focused on building the operating model, policies, standards, accountability mechanisms, and cross-functional collaboration needed to manage data as a shared business asset.
You will lead the Data Governance Office, shape the Data Governance Council agenda, and coordinate data owners and stewards across business and technology functions. Your mandate is to create governance that enables execution, improves trust, and resolves cross-functional data issues without adding unnecessary friction.
Key responsibilities include:
- Owning enterprise data governance strategy, charter, policy framework, standards library, decision rights, and multi-year roadmap
- Leading the Data Governance Office as the operational center for cross-domain planning, issue triage, policy implementation, KPI monitoring, and escalation
- Shaping agendas and decision materials for the Data Governance Council
- Building and sustaining the network of executive data owners, business data stewards, operational data stewards, and technical data stewards
- Defining stewardship roles, RACI models, meeting cadences, escalation paths, and accountability mechanisms
- Creating enterprise standards for data quality, metadata, business definitions, classification, access, retention, lifecycle management, privacy, and appropriate use
- Partnering with technical teams to translate policies into scalable controls, automated workflows, monitoring, and operational processes
- Participating in architecture and design reviews to ensure governance requirements are measurable and technically feasible
- Facilitating resolution of cross-domain issues where ownership, definitions, process, or risk requirements conflict
- Partnering across Sales, Revenue Operations, Product, Finance, Legal, Privacy, Security, Enterprise Applications, Data Engineering, and Enterprise PMO
While not a hands-on engineering role, you must have sufficient technical depth to evaluate data architectures, challenge implementation decisions, review data-quality controls, and partner credibly with Data Engineering, Enterprise Applications, Analytics, and Governance teams. The ideal candidate is a strategic operator who can create alignment across functions, challenge solution designs constructively, and turn governance forums into a reliable mechanism for execution.
