Director, Data Architecture and Governance

Director of Data Architecture & Governance

Location : San Antonio, TX (On-site)

Salary : $160,000 – $190,000 base

The Role

We're hiring a Director of Data Architecture & Governance to build the foundation of enterprise data across a complex, multi-system environment. This is a highly strategic, hands-on leadership role. You'll define the data architecture, implement governance standards, and ensure trusted, compliant data flows across core business systems—spanning finance, operations, HR, and more.

This is the right role for someone who's led data strategy at scale and is ready to take ownership of a company-wide transformation.

This role does not provide sponsorship and being on-site in San Antonio is non-negotiable

What You'll Do

• Architect and maintain enterprise data systems including data lakes, warehouses, and real-time pipelines
• Define and enforce data governance policies across business-critical systems (POS, HRIS, finance, supply chain, etc.)
• Standardize metadata, master data, lineage, and stewardship practices across the organization
• Select and implement tools for data cataloging, access control, and classification
• Partner with Legal, IT, HR, and Operations to ensure responsible and compliant data usage
• Lead data quality efforts including validation, cleansing, and auditing
• Serve as a strategic advisor to executive leadership on data infrastructure, risk, and scalability
