Senior Manager, Data Governance

the team’s work is always connected to measurable business outcomes. Balances Stakeholders — Understands that governance works by earning trust, not mandating compliance. Develops standards in partnership with affected teams, acts fairly under conflicting demands, and maintains relationships even when decisions are hard. Influence and Leadership — Builds credibility with engineers, analysts, and business stakeholders alike. Fosters a culture of knowledge-sharing, continuous improvement, and proactive thinking about data trust across the organization. Manages Complexity — Navigates a work environment that blends technical depth, program ownership, and cross-functional coordination. Turns ambiguous mandates into concrete, actionable programs. Displays good Judgment — Knows when to enforce a standard and when to build consensus first. Asks questions before acting, applies critical thinking, and takes ownership of outcomes. Teamwork & Communication — Bridges technical and non-technical audiences. Translates governance concepts into business value, and business

requirements into engineering standards. Skills and Knowledge — Maintains hands-on fluency in the technical stack (SQL, dbt, dimensional modeling) and actively develops expertise in evolving areas: AI tooling, data observability, and governance tooling. In addition, all Justworkers focus on aligning their behaviors to our core values known as COGIS. It stands for: Camaraderie — Day to day you can be seen working together toward a higher purpose. You like to have fun. You’re an active listener, treat people respectfully, and have a strong desire to know and help others. Openness — Your default is to be open. You’re willing to share information, understand other perspectives, and consider new possibilities. You’re curious, ask open questions, and are receptive to thoughts and feedback from others. Grit — You demonstrate grit by having the courage to commit and persevere. You’re committed, earnest, and dive in to get the job done well with a positive attitude. Integrity — Simply put, do what you say and say what you’ll do. You’re honest and forthright, have a strong moral compass, and strive to match your words with your actions while leading by example. Simplicity — Be like Einstein: “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”

Qualifications 8+ years of experience in a data role such as analytics engineering, data engineering, or data governance, with hands-on experience in SQL and dbt. 3+ years in people management, with a demonstrated track record of developing ICs and managing team delivery. Experience owning data governance, data quality, or data standards programs — not just contributing to them. Strong proficiency in SQL; working experience with dbt and dimensional modeling sufficient to define standards and review model conformance. Demonstrated experience with managing data catalogs or data governance tooling (Atlan, Alation, Collibra, or similar). Hands-on fluency with AI tooling as a productivity and automation lever; ability to apply it within the context of metadata management, documentation, and governance workflows. Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to drive alignment across technical and non-technical stakeholders. Strong program ownership mindset: comfortable prioritizing proactively, operating without a defined ticket queue, and driving initiatives that span teams and timelines. Experience working in a startup or high-growth environment where programs had to be built from scratch is preferred. The base wage range for this position based in our New York City Office is targeted at $166,000.00 - $214,000.00 per year. #LI-DG2 #LI-Hybrid Actual
