[Hiring] Data Product & Governance Lead @Centuri Group, Inc.

Role Description

As the Data Product & Governance Lead, you will own the business definitions, master data, and reusable data products that Centuri runs on, setting the standards that both our people and our AI systems rely on to get the same trusted answer. In this role, you will decide what our core business terms mean and hold the organization to them. You will govern our master data domains and the Master Data Management platform, define the guardrails that new data products and automations are built against, own the validation practice that proves changes are safe before they reach the business, and grow adoption of shared, reusable data products across our operating companies. You will partner with business data owners, stewards, and technology teams — and you will have the authority to say no when a custom build would fracture a standard that already exists. This position offers the flexibility to work remotely.
