• Partner with data owners and business leaders to identify and remove barriers to strategic data use. 
• Track and report on the adoption, impact, and value realization of data strategy initiatives. 
• Promote a culture of data literacy, transparency, and accountability throughout the organization. 

 

Requirements for the role:

• Postgraduate qualification (e.g., MBA, MPH, MHA, or master’s in data/analytics) preferred. 
• 5–10+ years of experience in data strategy, analytics, or data governance roles, with at least 5 years in a leadership or cross-functional coordination capacity. 
• Experience working in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, insurance, or financial services. 
• Proven ability to operate in complex, federated or matrixed organizations with multiple stakeholders. 
• Deep understanding of data governance frameworks (e.g., DAMA-DMBOK, DCAM) and their practical implementation. 
• Familiarity with health insurance data domains (claims, clinical, provider, member, utilization, etc.). 
• Strong track record of delivering enterprise data programs or strategic initiatives at scale. 
• Training or certification in change management (e.g., PROSCI) or program management (e.g., PMP) is advantageous.
