Data Management Manager

As Data Management Manager at Solstice, you will lead the company’s data management practice, including governance, quality, mastering, cataloging, and controlled distribution of enterprise data. You will own data policies, standards, stewardship models, and daily operations that keep core business data accurate, consistent, and trusted across systems.

Your success will materialize as data the business trusts and uses — measured through master data quality scores, reduction in duplicate or conflicting records, faster onboarding of new customers/vendors/materials, and fewer downstream incidents caused by bad master data.

You will report to our Director of IT, AI, Analytics & Automation who oversees our enterprise Data & AI strategy, Delivery and Platform Operations.

At Solstice, our people play a critical role in driving change across the company. You will help raise the data capability of the broader organization — coaching stewards and business users, fostering an inclusive and collaborative working style across functions, and building a culture where good data is treated as everyone's responsibility.
