About The Position

Mapfre is seeking a Solutions Delivery Manager – Data Enablement Lead to drive the adoption and operationalization of our enterprise Data Governance, Stewardship, and Data Enablement capabilities, while serving directly as a Data Steward for assigned data domains. This role will help turn our governance framework into practical, repeatable ways of working across data domains—serving as a hands-on Data Steward for assigned domains and enabling other Data Owners and Data Stewards to define, govern, maintain, and improve trusted enterprise data. This highly collaborative role sits at the intersection of Data Governance, Data Enablement, Business Domains, Data Quality, Metadata Management, Data Products, and Technology. A key focus will be enabling business domains to effectively manage and use their data, while driving adoption of our enterprise metadata and knowledge-management capabilities and strengthening business glossary, ownership, lineage, certification, and stewardship practices. As a key leader, you'll partner with business and technology teams to establish clear accountability for data, improve discoverability and trust, and create a sustainable stewardship operating model across the organization. You'll help make governance actionable—not simply a framework—by enabling domains to effectively manage, understand, and leverage their data, while supporting Mapfre's broader Data & AI strategy.
