- Develop and refine standards related to data classification, retention, lifecycle management, and responsible information use across the organization.
- Analyze recurring data quality concerns, identify underlying trends, and recommend practical corrective actions that improve trust in enterprise data.
- Support the use and optimization of tools within the Microsoft ecosystem, including SharePoint and Microsoft 365, with exposure to Microsoft Purview where applicable.
- Translate complex governance, privacy, and technical topics into clear guidance tailored to executives, operational teams, and other stakeholder groups.
- Drive incremental change by introducing governance structures in environments where formal processes may be limited or still maturing.
- Contribute to reporting and insight development using business intelligence platforms such as Power BI or Tableau to monitor governance-related outcomes.
- Advise on ethical AI and data privacy considerations as part of broader data management and governance efforts.
