This role is responsible for how data domains operate together, how data products are prioritized and standardized, and how domain outputs collectively support enterprise reporting, operations, controls, and decision‑making. Key Accountabilities Provide leadership and oversight across multiple data domains, each owned by a designated domain owner Ensure domain owners apply consistent principles for data ownership, stewardship, modeling, quality, and governance. Balance demand across domains by prioritizing data products based on enterprise value, regulatory need, and readiness. Ensure domain data products integrate cleanly with enterprise platforms and downstream consumers. Act as the primary business‑facing interface for enterprise data domains, translating strategic needs into coordinated domain roadmaps. Enable domain owners to focus on execution by removing blockers, resolving dependencies, and clarifying priorities. Ensure lifecycle artifacts (ownership, definitions, quality expectations, refresh SLAs) are consistently produced across domains.
