Toyota Financial Services (TFS) is seeking a National Manager, Enterprise Data Governance. This role is a program leadership role and is responsible for operationalizing TFS's Data Governance Program across the enterprise, driving the council architecture, instituting data governance across enterprise business domains, deploying data governance through policy as code and building the data literacy capability that converts governance policy into business behaviors.

This is the role that makes the Data Governance Operating Model real. You will work directly with Executives, Business Data Owners, Data Stewards, technical and business domain leads, and many other stakeholders to move TFS closer to the goal of robust governance‑in‑practice.

• You’ve led a governance program, not merely supporting one. You understand what it takes for a Business Data Owner to truly own their domain—not just sign off on a form, but actively attend council meetings, understand their data quality scorecards, and make the decision to elevate a data issue when needed.
• You understand complex, regulated environments such as banking, insurance, and automotive lending. You’ve done this work in organizations where the regulatory stakes were high, and the political dynamics were equally complex.
• You are also a builder of thought leadership, consensus, and shared understanding. You create training that stays relevant, write governance content in clear, concise language, and facilitate workshops that leave business users with practical takeaways they can use the very next day.
• You are credible with executives and effective with teams. You can brief an executive on program status without obscuring the issue, and you can coach a junior steward with patience and clarity. You hold yourself to the same standards as the governance program: precise, documented, and measurable.

• Own the end‑to‑end execution of TFS’s Data Governance Operating Model, including council structure, stewardship assignments, decision rights, escalation paths, and the operating cadence across enterprise data domains.
• Lead the governance program across TFS’s key business domains by building domain‑specific stewardship capabilities and driving measurable improvements in data quality and compliance.
• Manage the Data Governance Office backlog, stakeholder prioritization queue, and cross‑functional dependency coordination, while providing transparent program status updates to senior leadership.
• Develop and enforce data governance policies, standards, and control requirements aligned with business strategy, regulatory obligations, and industry frameworks such as DAMA DMBOK.
• Partner with Business Data…
