Your leadership will be foundational-setting the direction, culture, and capabilities of this new offering, and helping EDB deliver governance-first value to customers in the age of data, AI and regulatory scrutiny.

Your impact will be :

• Defining and owning the go-to-market strategy and roadmap for EDB's data & AI governance offering, aligned with market demand, regulatory trends and EDB's core product ecosystem.
• Building, leading and scaling a high-performing team covering governance strategy, metadata & lineage, data quality, model governance, policy & compliance, risk management, and enablement.
• Developing governance frameworks, standards and toolsets that address data governance (data catalogs, lineage, stewardship), model governance (monitoring, bias, transparency), and compliance (privacy, AI regulation).
• Partnering with Engineering to embed governance capabilities into EDB's PG AI platform- enabling customers to adopt governable data and AI at scale.
• Collaborating with legal, compliance, risk, and security functions to anticipate regulation (e.g., AI Act, data sovereignty, privacy laws) and build solutions that ensure customers meet evolving requirements.
• Evangelizing governance as a value differentiator : articulating and quantifying business outcomes (data trust, faster AI adoption, risk reduction, audit readiness) to customers, partners and internal stakeholders.
• Evangelizing internally and externally : representing EDB's governance vision to customers, analysts, industry forums and drive thought leadership in the governance domain.
• Defining and tracking success metrics and KPIs for the business unit : adoption, customer satisfaction, governance maturity improvement, revenue growth, cost savings, compliance incidents avoided.
• Make strategic build vs. buy decisions for governance tooling and partner ecosystems, stay abreast of emerging technologies (metadata automation, model observability, vector governance, data mesh).
