Job Description:

We are looking for an experienced Data Governance Program lead to guide and strengthen enterprise data governance practices for a public-sector environment. This contract position will focus on turning an established governance strategy into practical, repeatable operating routines that improve accountability, consistency, and cross-department collaboration. The role is ideal for someone who can bring structure to a decentralized data landscape, support governance adoption across varied stakeholders, and provide clear direction that helps leadership manage risk and improve data stewardship.

Job Responsibility:

  • Direct daily governance and data management activities for a small team, setting priorities and providing guidance that keeps work aligned with organizational goals
  • Coordinate governance forums and work closely with departmental representatives to improve decision-making, accountability, and participation across the organization
  • Convert the existing governance strategy into actionable phases, defined deliverables, and achievable timelines that support steady progress
  • Build and standardize governance procedures that can be applied consistently across departments without relying on the rollout of new enterprise platforms
  • Clarify and document responsibilities for data owners, stewards, and other designated stakeholders so governance expectations are well understood
  • Collaborate with leaders to ensure governance practices reflect compliance, records management, and risk requirements
  • Lead communication and change adoption efforts that help teams understand governance objectives and embed them into day-to-day operations
  • Design and launch organization-wide governance training to establish a common understanding of policies, standards, and responsibilities
  • Define practical standards for data retention, disposal, and lifecycle oversight while improving consistency across shared systems, files, and legacy records
  • Report on governance progress, participation levels, emerging risks, and maturity trends to provide leadership with clear operational visibility

Requirements:

  • Demonstrated experience leading data governance initiatives, programs, or operating models in complex organizations
  • Strong knowledge of governance frameworks, policy development, stewardship models, and process standardization
  • Experience working with governance, risk, and compliance practices, including records retention and data lifecycle controls
  • Ability to drive cross-functional collaboration and influence stakeholders across departments with varying levels of governance maturity
  • Proven success in change management, stakeholder communication, and training delivery for governance-related initiatives
  • Familiarity with decentralized data environments that include shared drives, collaboration platforms, databases, and legacy records
  • Solid understanding of IT governance principles and the operational challenges associated with establishing accountability for enterprise data
  • Excellent organizational and analytical skills, with the ability to translate strategic goals into practical execution plans
What we offer:
  • medical, vision, dental, life and disability insurance
  • 401(k) plan
