• Document data lineage, traceability, business rules, controls, and governance decisions.
• Create and maintain governance artifacts including BRDs, data dictionaries, lineage documentation, metric inventories, and traceability assessments.
• Support data quality, governance, control, and audit-readiness initiatives.
• Partner with stakeholders to assess impacts of reporting and metric-related changes.
• Maintain governance records and documentation to support future testing, regulatory reviews, and audits.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in Data Governance, Data Management, Data Controls, Data Quality, Business Analysis, Regulatory Reporting, Risk Management, or related disciplines.
• Experience documenting data lineage, traceability, business rules, and governance processes.
• Experience facilitating discussions across multiple stakeholder groups.

• Familiarity with BCBS 239, data governance frameworks, or enterprise data management programs.
