Full Job Description Description:

At CSpring, we believe in the power of people and data to drive real-world impact. We're a purpose-driven consulting firm that helps organizations solve complex problems, gain insights, and achieve measurable results. Our clients span the public and private sectors, and our work — from data strategy and engineering to workforce transformation — improves lives across Indiana and beyond. We're seeking talented professionals who are collaborative, curious, and committed to making a difference. Why You'll Love Working Here Your work connects to real outcomes. The data you govern flows into programs that determine whether Hoosiers get the benefits they're entitled to. When the data is right, the system works — and you'll feel that every day. You'll lead something that's yours to shape. We've laid the groundwork for this initiative, but the person in this role will own its execution, refine the approach, and leave a framework that outlasts the pilot. You'll be surrounded by people who care about doing it right. The team is collaborative, experienced, and serious about quality — not just as a deliverable, but as a standard. There's room to grow, and we mean that practically. As the pilot matures and expands, so does the scope of this role. You'll have visibility with both CSpring leadership and client stakeholders, and the kind of experience that opens doors in data work for years ahead. Your perspective will shape how this program evolves. You won't be handed a rigid playbook. We want someone who will challenge assumptions, surface better approaches, and bring informed opinions to the table — then execute on them. What You'll Do As the Data Quality Lead, you'll own the day-to-day execution of the EDW's data quality controls framework — keeping a complex, multi-layer data environment accurate, auditable, and continuously improving across a six-month pilot and beyond. Execute the DQ controls framework. You will implement data quality controls across EDW pipelines and layers, ensuring rules, logic, and monitoring are consistently applied and traceable from source to consumption. Build and maintain standardized DQ rules. You will define and document DQ rules with clear metadata, thresholds, and severity classifications — creating the kind of consistency that makes audits straightforward and remediation fast. Validate business rules with data owners. You will work directly with Data Owners and Stewards to confirm that critical data elements and business rules are accurately translated into executable controls, so the DQ framework reflects what the business actually needs. Manage the DQ rule lifecycle. You will own the full change control process for DQ rules — from creation and approval through updates and retirement — keeping documentation current and changes governed. Maintain monitoring, alerting, and exception management. You will keep a close eye on the EDW's data health in near real time, ensuring that failures surface quickly and the right people are notified with the context they need to act. Triage failures and coordinate remediation. When DQ issues arise, you will assess their downstream impact, determine urgency, and work with engineering and business teams to get to root cause and resolution — without letting problems linger or compound. Maintain failure evidence for compliance and audit. You will document DQ failure records, metrics, and audit trails in a way that satisfies regulatory expectations and makes it easy to demonstrate what happened, when, and how it was addressed. Deliver dashboards, scorecards, and operational reports. You will produce clear, timely reporting for stakeholders, translating DQ metrics into narratives that non-technical audiences can act on. Define and track metrics tied to SLAs and governance goals. You will establish the right measures of success for data quality across subject areas, track them against agreed thresholds, and escalate when trends point the wrong direction. Serve as the day-to-day DQ liaison and continuous improvement driver. You will be the connective tissue between engineering, governance, and program management — bringing teams together around shared quality standards and consistently looking for ways to make the framework smarter and more efficient.
