Job Description:

Make a meaningful difference: At Thatcher Chemical, with facilities across the nation, our manufacturing teams create the essential chemistries, processes, and solutions that support clean water, safe environments, reliable infrastructure, and critical industries. From production and quality to logistics and distribution, your precision, dedication, and commitment to continuous improvement help transform raw materials and innovative science into real-world solutions. Your purpose-driven work plays a vital role in protecting public health, supporting communities, and shaping a safer, more sustainable future. The Data Governance Manager supports ERP implementation, enterprise data governance, and ongoing business transformation initiatives. This position is critical to ensuring accurate, consistent, and well-governed customer, supplier, and item master data across the enterprise system architecture. The ideal candidate will bring strong collaboration skills, a disciplined approach to data stewardship, and experience building sustainable data governance practices that support reliable operations, continuous improvement, and scalable growth.

Responsibilities:

Own data quality end-to-end. You'll be the go-to person for enterprise data governance and stewardship, with a particular focus on our ERP systems. Drive our ERP implementation forward by making sure data governance practices are solid and supporting the transformation every step of the way. Establish clear ownership for primary and secondary data so everyone knows who's responsible for what. Lead data migration and cleansing efforts, from validating and standardizing data to managing the conversion from legacy systems. Work hand-in-hand with implementation teams on data mapping, transformation logic, ETL processes, and large-scale data updates. Set the standard. You'll define data naming conventions, definitions, and classification structures that the whole organization can rely on. Build and maintain data dictionaries, glossaries, and catalogs so information is always easy to find and understand. Put the right guardrails in place through governance policies, workflows, and access controls that protect data integrity and security. Keep an eye on data quality over time and step in to fix issues before they become bigger problems. Be a trusted partner to business stakeholders (business users, implementation team, functional consultants, steering committee, company leadership) helping them resolve data issues and making sure data reflects real business needs. Spot opportunities to simplify. If something is more complicated than it needs to be, you'll find it and fix it. Help the whole team level up by educating colleagues on data ownership and governance best practices.
