About The Position

The Managing Director, Data Governance & Architecture leads Plymouth Rock’s enterprise data governance framework and architectural standards to ensure data is trusted, secure, well-classified, and accessible for consumption across Business Intelligence, Machine Learning, and AI applications. This role is responsible for defining and operationalizing how data is classified, governed, accessed, and distributed across the enterprise, enabling data to be safely consumed at scale by both people and machines.
