Role Description

Prominence Advisors is actively seeking a Data Governance Lead to join our team. The Data Governance Lead is a strategic consulting leader responsible for helping healthcare organizations establish, operationalize, and mature enterprise Data Governance capabilities that enable trusted, reliable, and actionable data across the organization.

This role partners with executive leaders, business stakeholders, and technical teams to embed governance into organizational processes, modern technology platforms, analytics delivery, AI initiatives, and enterprise operating models.

As a trusted advisor, you will lead complex client engagements from strategy through execution, helping organizations establish governance operating models, stewardship programs, decision-making frameworks, and sustainable governance practices that improve organizational effectiveness and support digital transformation.

Beyond project execution, you will cultivate long-term client relationships, identify opportunities to expand governance capabilities, and contribute to the continued growth and innovation of Prominence's Data Governance practice.

The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in enterprise Data Governance with strong healthcare industry knowledge, exceptional communication skills, and the ability to bridge executive leadership, business operations, analytics teams, and technology organizations.

• Develop and grow long-term client relationships by identifying opportunities to expand governance capabilities beyond initial project engagements.
• Lead the integration of Data Governance across the entire data lifecycle—from platform configuration and data acquisition through data product development, analytics execution, AI initiatives, and ongoing operational management.
• Bridge development teams, architects, analysts, and business stakeholders to ensure governance is embedded into enterprise processes rather than operating as a separate function.
• Champion governance as an enabler of innovation by integrating governance practices into technology implementation, analytics delivery, and organizational decision-making.
