Summary
Management track for data governance leadership: supervising and leading teams that establish, operate, and enforce data governance programs — including governance policies/standards, metadata and data catalog operations, data lineage, business glossaries, data quality rules/metrics, and regulatory compliance. Distinct from individual-contributor (IC) governance analysts who author deliverables hands-on; this track owns people management, program operations, framework accountability, and progressively the enterprise data strategy. Scope deepens from supervising a governance unit (M1) to directing the enterprise governance program with division-wide impact (M5).
