We are seeking SVP
- Enterprise Data Strategy & Architecture, responsible for establishing and owning NMS’s enterprise data strategy and architecture across Finance, Treasury, HR, Procurement, AP, Operations, FP&A, and Reporting. This role oversees the NMS enterprise data model, integration patterns, and governance framework that ensures a single, trusted flow of financial and operational data across D365, Coupa, Workday, Concur, One Stream, Kyriba, Power BI, and related systems.

This leader directly manages Data Governance and provides architectural oversight to contractor resources supporting BI/Reporting and Middleware/Integrations. Vendor Data Management (VDM) operates separately but maintains a dotted-line relationship into Data Governance, and therefore indirectly into this role.

The role blends deep technical architecture experience with strong financial acumen to drive data strategy, modernization, integrity, automation, and enterprise-wide data excellence.

• Define and own the enterprise data strategy for NMS Finance and adjacent functions.
• Design and govern the enterprise data model across all core systems (Workday, D365, One Stream, Power BI, Kyriba, Coupa, Concur, etc.).
• Establish the canonical data model and unify disconnected structures into a cohesive enterprise architecture.
• Lead redesign of the chart of accounts, entity hierarchy, cost centers, and financial dimensions.
• Own metadata standards, lineage models, mapping logic, and end-to-end data design.
• Oversee architectural standards for integrations, master data, data quality, and reporting.
• Provide directional leadership to contracted Middleware/Integrations engineers, ensuring they follow enterprise design and control expectations.
• Ensure flows, such as Workday → D365 → One Stream → Power BI, operate reliably and consistently with clear ownership.
• Define mapping rules, transformation logic, validation controls, and integration patterns.

• Directly lead the Head of Data Governance, who manages data quality, controls, and master data standards across the enterprise.
• Ensure that governance, policies, naming conventions (data ontology), and master data structures are aligned to the enterprise architecture vision.
• Oversee governance councils, data quality programs, and issue resolution processes.
• Maintain accountability for the dotted-line relationship with data stewards, such as Vendor Data Management, ensuring alignment to master data standards and governance processes.

• Provide architectural leadership to contracted BI/Power BI resources, ensuring semantic models, KPIs, and reporting structures follow enterprise architecture principles.
• Ensure the BI ecosystem (models, datasets, KPIs, and lineage) aligns to One Stream and D365 structures.
• Standardize reporting logic and eliminate fragmentation from spreadsheets or shadow analytics.

• Own enterprise-wide data quality rules, validation standards, monitoring frameworks, and issue management escalation.
• Drive resolution of root causes for recurring data breaks and systemic quality issues.
