At Goldman Sachs, our Engineers don't just make things - we make things possible. Change the world by connecting people and capital with ideas. Solve the most challenging and pressing engineering problems for our clients. Join our engineering teams that build massively scalable software and systems, architect low latency infrastructure solutions, proactively guard against cyber threats, and leverage machine learning alongside financial engineering to continuously turn data into action. Create new businesses, transform finance, and explore a world of opportunity at the speed of markets. The Data Governance team is a central, firmwide team that is responsible for defining and delivering data governance across the firm. We are a global team that works with divisional stakeholders to provide transparency into where data enters the firm, how it is transformed, reported, classified, and what data quality controls exist for critical datasets. Our internal clients use this information to gain insights, aiming to eliminate duplication, improve data quality, respond faster to new business opportunities, and meet regulatory requirements. Our users need to search and visualize the firm's data flows. The firm is investing significantly to enhance data quality across the firm, to enable increased data commercialization, improve client experience, and ensure high quality of data sent to other external and internal parties. We have a multi-year book of work, sponsored by the Board. This function is a key component of these deliverables. As a Data Governance Specialist, you will help promote the data governance framework and drive adoption across all of the firm's divisions. You will partner with Divisional Data Offices to help them implement the policies and procedures for Data Governance, participate in working groups to improve data quality and ease of access to information, and provide guidance and training on how to plan implementation of requirements set forth by the policy. You will work with the technical team responsible for developing the data governance platform and tool set, monitor the compliance and progress of each division, and ensure that the data governance program goals are accomplished. You will provide thought leadership to further develop processes and firmwide roles and responsibilities to help the firm meet the expectations of its data governance policy. As a member of the team, you will gain satisfaction through adding value and contributing to the team's initiatives, working with data consumers and producers to negotiate ownership of data, creating lineage graphs to show how data moves through the organization, and developing communication and reference materials that enable data consumers and producers to implement the data governance policy and standard.
