AI/Data Governance Analyst

Description

• Hybrid with onsite in South Metro of Twin Cities, MN required
• We are looking for an experienced AI/Data Governance Analyst to support enterprise-wide governance practices.

This long-term Contract position will help bring structure, accountability, and consistency to data management efforts across departments in a complex environment with varying levels of governance maturity. The role is centered on turning an established governance direction into practical day-to-day processes that improve adoption, reduces ambiguity, and creates sustainable standards. The ideal candidate will combine strong analytical capability with the ability to guide cross-functional stakeholders toward clear and repeatable governance practices.

• Lead the execution of established data governance priorities by translating strategic goals into practical workflows, operating standards, and department-level activities.
• Partner with business and technical stakeholders to define ownership, stewardship expectations, and decision-making responsibilities for critical data assets.
• Create and maintain governance documentation, including policies, data definitions, process guides, and standards that promote consistency across teams.
• Assess current data management practices across departments and identify opportunities to improve quality, accountability, and operational efficiency.
• Use analytical tools and reporting platforms such as SQL and BusinessObjects to evaluate data issues, monitor governance effectiveness, and support informed decisions.
• Facilitate meetings, working sessions, and governance discussions that drive alignment, encourage adoption, and resolve data-related challenges.
• Support metadata, lineage, and information management activities using tools such as erwin Data and collaboration platforms including SharePoint and OneNote.
• Help standardize governance processes for decentralized and legacy data environments so they can be repeated, sustained, and scaled over time.
