- Define and drive the SAS data governance framework: policies, standards, processes, and ownership model.
- Build and maintain the enterprise data catalogue ensuring metadata, definitions, lineage, and ownership are documented and up to date.
- Establish and monitor data quality standards across critical data domains (customer, loyalty, commercial, operations).
- Lead the data stewardship network across business units, ensuring accountability at domain level
- Collaborate with Legal, Security, and IT to ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
- Drive data classification and access management practices in partnership with IT Security.
