Role Summary
The Data Governance Lead acts as Bristlecone's senior on-the-ground governance resource for the client's master data governance initiative, serving as the execution arm for a governance operating model the client has already defined. This role owns program cadence and sponsor reporting, drives business data ownership across functions, and ensures the master data, cataloging and data quality foundations required to unblock the Agent E-Commerce initiative are established and sustained.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary interface to the client's Data Governance lead and Global Data Strategy sponsor; own the overall governance operating model and program cadence.
- Hold accountability for the master data ownership framework — defining who owns which product master attributes across Marketing, Digital, Supply Chain and R&D.;
- Lead business ownership workshops and sponsor reporting; oversee Atlan/DQLabs governance strategy and quality decisions across the Data Governance Foundations and Data Quality Improvement streams.




- Conduct workshops to identify and formally establish business data owners/stewards for critical product attributes; define the Data Governance Operating Model (roles, responsibilities, stewardship workflows, decision-making).
- Collaborate with business owners to define, document and prioritize data quality rules (completeness, accuracy, validity) for the initiative — documentation only; implementation of underlying fixes remains with the client's build teams.
- Coordinate hand-off of specifications to the client's IT build team.
- Document business definitions, master data context and ownership in Atlan; support root-cause analysis on prioritized attributes.
- Deliver a comprehensive “Program-in-a-Box” toolkit — templates, process guides and framework documents — plus a Final Handover & Operational Framework document for ongoing program management.
