About The Position
The head of Data Governance is part of the Technology and Transformation Department (TTD) and reports directly to the Chief Information Officer (CIO). In her/his capacity, the Head of Data Governance will ensure the organization is managing its data assets with accuracy, security, integrity, availability and compliance with internal and external standards. The head of Data Governance will work in close coordination with the Digital Transformation team, Data Management team, the Corporate and Operations Data unit, and the Regional and Sector group. Data is fundamental to the mission of the IDB and the advancement of the IDB's strategic priorities to deliver greater impact and scale. The IDB produced its first Strategic Approach to Data and Analytics in 2022 ('Data Strategy') to create a more structured, strategic, and comprehensive approach to generating, acquiring, managing, and utilizing data. The Data Strategy seeks to align efforts in organizing, governing, analyzing, and deploying the organization's data assets in support of shared strategic objectives, while also building a data culture that fosters accountability for data, data literacy, and ethical data use. Achieving the objectives of Impact+ (IDB Institutional Strategy), requires ensuring the effective and efficient functioning of our internal processes, to comply with reporting requirements, and better ground analysis, decisions on high-quality data. The IDB established the need for strengthened data governance structure as a strategic priority, to set direction and ensure data can be trusted and used responsibly as well as readily accessible and available to incorporate into processes and be used by Data Technologies including Artificial Intelligence. As a result, in 2024 the IDB designed the structure and foundations of a Data Governance Framework and approved the basic organizational structure and core functions aiming to implement and run this Data Governance Framework. The Data Governance Transversal Group is responsible for the overall orchestration of the Data Governance across the IDB Group, in particular for the IDB Data units (Data Management, Corporate and Operations Data Units and Regional and Sectors Data unit) and their related data stewards. The Group is also in charge of Data Literacy and Communication for the Group, Data Policy (excl. Data Privacy), and all Data Transversal activities.
