  • Coordinate timely data quality issue resolution across data partners/vendors and internal teams, using business context to prioritize risks, escalate recurring issues, and provide actionable insights to Data Partnerships leadership.
  • Support working-level data partner/vendor technical relationship management, including frequent operational touchpoints, delivery follow-up, real-time issue triage, escalation, and performance discussions.
  • Track SLA adherence and delivery performance, proactively flagging risks, recurring gaps, and opportunities to improve reliability.
  • Maintain data documentation, metadata, data partner/vendor documentation, data asset inventory inputs, catalog updates, onboarding progress, delivery health metrics, and back-end process tracking.
