A Brief Overview

Director of Data Trust will lead data governance providing both strategic and operational leadership across the enterprise data warehouse, business intelligence (BI) ecosystem, and analytical products, ensuring that data is reliable, secure, well-understood, and responsibly used. As a leader within the Data & Analytics organization and reporting to the AVP of Data Science, this role oversees the Data Trust Office and drives the evolution of data governance capabilities that support clinical, research, operational, and enterprise reporting needs, as well as emerging AI-enabled solutions.

The Director is responsible for establishing, executing, and advancing CHOP's data governance strategy which includes developing and refining the frameworks, policies, and standards that strengthen data quality, transparency, security, compliance, and ethical use. While the role is anchored within the Data & Analytics organization, the Director will partner closely with clinical, operational, and technical leaders to improve data quality and stewardship at upstream source systems that feed the enterprise data warehouse.

These partnerships are essential to ensuring downstream reliability for reporting, analytics, predictive modeling, and AI.

As CHOP expands its use of advanced analytics, predictive modeling, and AI, the Director of Data Trust will build and scale the governance foundation required for trustworthy insights, positioning the organization for future growth and maturity in enterprise data governance.
