Data Governance Lead

The Data Governance Lead will build and run the governance capability of AHEAD’s Data Platform Team - hands-on. This is not a standards-writing or policy-committee role. The Lead will define governance standards and then implement them directly: building the catalog, wiring lineage, writing quality checks into pipelines, configuring access policy at the platform level, and embedding governance controls into every data product before it is published. The role sits within the Data Platform Team, reporting to the Director, Data Platform. The Lead is a direct execution partner to the Director, responsible for making governance tangible and operational across every domain connection, data product, and pipeline the team owns. Governance here is an engineering discipline as much as a policy one - the Lead is expected to write, configure, and ship alongside the engineers they work with. The Data Governance Lead will help the team deliver on its federated product model, its domain connection contract standards, its lineage and classification requirements, and its AI-safe data use controls. This leader will also build and lead a small governance function over time as the platform matures.
