Summary:

We're looking for a data leader who can launch and scale enterprise data governance and master data management (MDM) strategies—especially around provider, patient, and payer data. The ideal candidate is someone who’s equally comfortable influencing executives and rolling up their sleeves to define policy, stand up catalog/MDM tools, and lead hands-on governance operations. You must be empathetic, strategic, and comfortable driving process and compliance within a healthcare setting. This is a great opportunity for someone who sees the “big picture” of enterprise data management but also knows what it takes to build the program from the ground up.

Company Overview:

This organization is a national leader in direct and digital healthcare services, delivering integrated care to millions of lives across a large network of employers and affiliated partners. With an emphasis on accessibility, innovation, and outcomes-based care, they operate hundreds of care centers and digital platforms to ensure broad reach and continuity across patient populations. The organization offers over 30 healthcare products in a fully connected model designed to lower costs and improve health outcomes for diverse communities.

Role Summary:

As Vice President of Data Governance, you will lead the enterprise-wide strategy and execution of data governance, metadata management, data catalog, and MDM solutions. You’ll oversee data stewardship, establish scalable governance practices, and partner across the business to drive data quality, compliance, and enablement. You will report directly to executive leadership and manage a growing team of governance professionals and engineers.

  • Champion data governance with executive leadership; measure and demonstrate ROI
  • Align governance strategy with business goals, OKRs, and compliance needs
  • Define stewardship roles, domain councils, and data ownership structures

Team Management & Execution

  • Lead and grow a team of 4–6 data governance professionals (data stewards, engineers, analysts)
  • Drive a hands-on culture that values continuous improvement and stakeholder empathy
  • Mentor team on governance principles and solution design
  • Own the execution of governance roadmap, issue management, and change control

Technology & Delivery Oversight

  • Select, implement, and optimize metadata management and data catalog tools (Microsoft Purview preferred)
  • Lead MDM platform execution (Informatica 360, Reltio, Profisee, etc.)
  • Oversee design of match/merge schemas, entity resolution logic, lineage tracking, CI/CD pipelines
  • Partner with data architects to maintain consistent data models and infrastructure

Compliance & Risk

  • Ensure HIPAA/HITRUST compliance, audit readiness, and incident response processes
  • Lead governance enablement across strategic and tactical business processes
  • Support initiatives tied to ISO 27001, NIST, SOC2, and other regulatory frameworks

Education & Communication

  • Evangelize data literacy and promote a data-driven culture across the enterprise
  • Translate governance concepts into business value for clinical and executive stakeholders
  • Develop dashboards, training, and internal communication tools to increase governance adoption

Ideal Candidate Profile:

Required Experience

  • 7+ years in data governance, data quality, or MDM with 3+ years of people or project leadership
  • Proven success launching and managing enterprise MDM solutions (preferably in healthcare)
  • Hands-on experience with catalog solutions, metadata management, and governance frameworks
  • Strong working knowledge of healthcare data standards (HL7, FHIR, NPI, ICD-10, etc.)
  • Experience with cloud ecosystems (Azure or AWS) and modern data tech stacks
  • Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills with C-level executives

Preferred Experience
