  • Formalize the Enterprise Data Catalogue and maintain an executive data health dashboard
  • Enforce data procurement review and own the Enterprise Data Asset Registry

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in data leadership, with at least 5+ years at the Director level owning enterprise data strategy, architecture, or governance
  • Demonstrated track record of modernizing and unifying complex, multi-source data environments at scale — ideally in a SaaS, fintech, payments context
  • Deep expertise in modern data stack: cloud data warehouses (Snowflake preferred), lakehouse architectures, ETL frameworks, and semantic/canonical modelling

  • Proven ability to build and lead high-performing technical teams and partner effectively across Product, Engineering, and Commercial functions
  • Experience governing data for commercial use: external data products, consent frameworks, lineage standards, and privacy compliance
  • Exceptional communication skills — able to translate complex data and architectural concepts for executive audiences and build alignment across functions
  • Experience with managing the cost of data warehouses and cost forecasting
  • Experience in hiring and managing talent across the entire data food chain – from BI and Analytics to Data Engineering to CI/CD of data platforms
  • Experience with agentic AI architecture, MCP, or LLM serving layers and the data requirements that underpin them (preferred)
