Come join our growing University Data, Analytics, and Institutional Research (UDAIR) organization to coordinate Data Stewardship at our Mizzou flagship campus and system offices. Reporting directly to the MU Vice-Provost of Data Analytics / UM System Chief Data Officer (CDO), the Data Governance Manager is responsible for coordinating stewardship activities across Mizzou and the System offices for consistency and leverage.  The DGM will support the Data Trustees and CDO in establishing policy.   Where policy is established, the DGM drives coordination by establishing processes for how Stewards execute their activities (the specific work steps, tools used, etc.); how they communicate their actions to their peer stewards and other business users/roles; and upward to the data & analytics governance board.  The DGM helps the stewards and business users to interpret policies established by the board with the goal of establishing clarity and quality in policy enactment.

Primary duties include:

• Collaborate with data & analytics governance board members: Composed primarily of data trustees, the DGM will work with the board to develop, receive and understand policy directives. They will provide input on policy creation within their scope, primarily advising on the viability of enacting policies.
• Consolidated program reporting: Monitor data quality and fidelity within their defined domains and track business outcomes.  Provide transparent reporting for Stewards, Governance Board, and other leaders and community members.
• Collaborate with Steward Community: DGM will assist data stewards in interpreting policy requirements and mentor them in a range of stewardship activities.  The DGM will serve as the connector (team-builder) across stewardship domains within their scope.
• Stewardship: May hold responsibilities as a normal steward within particular domains.
• Continuous Learning: DGM must learn and advise the organization on data governance implementation best practices across higher education through industry research and participation in professional communities.
• Data Governance Tool: The Mizzou DGM will serve as a subject matter expert in partnership with IT, the BI Tools Manager and the Data Governance Tool Administrator to design and implement a tool to support systemwide data governance.
• System Representation: Represent Mizzou on any UM System data stewardship council
• Other UDAIR duties as assigned

While we promote flexibility and hybrid work on the team, relocation is required, with designated and as-needed on-site availability required.
