• Establish and enforce data governance standards across the recruiting organization.

• Partner with People Analytics on shared data products, metric definitions, and long-term analytical capabilities.
• Serve as the senior technical partner for Product & Enablement and PMO on systems-dependent initiatives and represent Recruiting Systems & Data in senior leadership forums.
