  • Assist in the formation and administration of the data governance program for newly acquired business partners.
  • Partner with others within the Data Strategy and Management Team to identify control points and develop control structures for governance processes, including devising processes to manage program updates, data sharing, data classification, and metadata cataloging.
  • Provide governance subject matter expertise across the integration process for new acquisitions, ensuring an understanding of the unique needs of the business and how governance can add value while enabling innovation and maintaining compliance with Mastercard-approved standards.
  • Facilitate forums to communicate governance practices and principles to improve data literacy and compliance.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to establish and enforce data standards, policies, and procedures.

  • Strong grasp of data management methodologies and compliance requirements related to data privacy and protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
  • Proven ability to lead enterprise data initiatives and cross-functional teams.
  • Knowledge and understanding of “driving organization change” for data governance.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills; capable of understanding complex data ecosystems and translating technical constructs into actionable business strategies.
  • Strategic thinker, able to operate at both a high-level vision and detailed implementation level to deliver measurable outcomes under tight timelines.
  • Exceptional communicator, skilled at tailoring messages for executive, technical, and operational audiences.
  • Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills, with a collaborative mindset and the ability to foster a data-driven culture across the organization.
