• Coordinate issue resolution across business, data governance, IT, and technical partners
• Step in as temporary domain lead where business ownership is missing, with clear exit criteria and a transition plan
• Prepare domain‑level status updates, risks, decision asks, and escalation items for governance forums

• This role drives standards execution, governance discipline, issue visibility, and cross‑functional coordination
• This role may temporarily support domain leadership when ownership gaps exist but does not serve as the permanent business owner
• This role does not own technical solution design, data engineering remediation, system configuration, or dashboard development unless explicitly assigned

• Bachelor’s degree in business, operations, supply chain, information systems, data management, or related field
• 5–7+ years of relevant experience in data, operations, governance, transformation, or program execution roles
• Experience working across business, IT, data standards, and technical teams
• Strong facilitation, problem‑solving, stakeholder management, and cross‑functional communication skills
• Experience documenting business rules, decisions, open issues, and execution plans
• Experience with SAP or similar enterprise systems
• Ability to manage ambiguity, escape blockers, and drive accountability without direct ownership of all execution activities
• Experience supporting enterprise data standards, data quality, master data, or data standards initiatives
• Experience with reporting validation, dashboard requirements, exception tracking, and data quality metrics
• Experience in transformation, integration, ERP, or enterprise‑wide operating model programs
• Familiarity with source‑of‑truth alignment, downstream data usage, and domain‑based data ownership models
