• Partner with business units to define and operationalize data standards for critical data elements (CDEs).
• Monitor, validate, and steward metadata to ensure accuracy, completeness, and alignment with enterprise data policies.
• Support data discovery efforts by partnering with SMEs to locate analytical data in source systems and validate its contextual meaning.
• Provide profiling information and data lineage to help users understand data quality, fitness for use, and business context.
• Document, track, and resolve data issues raised by end users to maintain data relevancy and trust.
• Ensure data assets are properly categorized and enriched with metadata for improved discoverability.
• Continuously refine cataloging and metadata processes for usability, scalability, and alignment with evolving data architecture.
• Advocate for standardized intake and prioritization processes for metadata, quality fixes, and glossary updates.
• Work closely with Data Analysts, Data Engineers, and business SMEs to support governed data access and improved data literacy.
