Roles & Responsibilities
Requirements & Rule Backlog
- Partner with business stakeholders to define data quality requirements organized by business function and subject area, framing quality in terms of the business capabilities it enables
- Within each subject area, identify and document the critical data elements, quality expectations, thresholds, severity, and the steward/owner responsible for triage
- Define cross-entity correlation requirements as first-class quality rules alongside field-level checks
- Work with stakeholders to define derived, subject-area-level quality scores tied to business readiness (e.g., readiness of quote and exposure data to support new product development or provisional quoting), so quality is measured against outcomes
- Own and prioritize the data quality rule backlog by subject area, balancing business impact, regulatory importance, and engineering effort in partnership with the Data Quality Engineer
- Validate implemented rules with business stakeholders before deployment, confirming the rule measures what the business intended
- Maintain traceability between business requirements, implemented rules, and the subject areas and systems they cover
Steward Enablement & Program Oversight
- Onboard and train Business Data Stewards and data owners on the decentralized alert and triage model, including how to interpret, work, and resolve alerts in DQLabs
- Develop and maintain steward-facing materials: triage guides, alert response expectations, escalation paths, and FAQ documentation
- Monitor the health of the steward network: track alert response and resolution rates, identify stale or unworked alerts, and follow up with stewards and their leadership when triage lags
- Manage the escalation process for data quality issues that are unclaimed, cross-domain, or exceed steward authority to resolve
- Gather steward feedback on alert quality and usability, feeding it back to the Data Quality Engineer for rule tuning
Reporting, Adoption, and Communication
- Shape data quality dashboards and reporting around business subject areas so data owners can see clearly which capability needs improvement
- Produce recurring reporting on program effectiveness for leadership: subject-area quality and readiness scores, rule coverage, alert volumes and trends, triage responsiveness, and open issue aging
- Drive adoption and usability of the program: identify and cultivate the community of business consumers who rely on data quality outputs, gather their feedback, and demonstrate the business value the program delivers
- Support organizational change management activities (communications, onboarding, stakeholder engagement) as quality processes and dashboards roll out to business teams
- Communicate program status, wins, and gaps to stakeholders in business-friendly terms
