Cross-Functional Alignment & Execution Enablement
Serve as a connector between Finance stakeholders and technical teams to align on priorities, sequencing, and tradeoffs while maintaining clarity on scope and expected value.
Coordinate work across related functions (e.g., data governance, data engineering, analytics enablement) to reduce duplication and improve consistency in shared data assets and definitions.
Contribute to portfolio-level governance by supporting decision forums with clear options, risks, impacts, and recommended paths forward.
Standards, Quality, and "Fitness for Use" (in partnership with Governance)
Partner with Data Governance and other control stakeholders to ensure data strategy and data products align with enterprise expectations for security, compliance, and appropriate use.
Incorporate pragmatic expectations for data quality, documentation, and stewardship so that products remain trusted and support repeatable decision processes.

Experience with "data as a product" practices, including defining internal data consumers, adoption goals, and ongoing lifecycle ownership.
Familiarity with enterprise data management concepts (e.g., metadata/ catalog, quality expectations, standardized definitions) and how they enable scalable analytics.
