Job Description
A client in the transportation and logistics industry is looking for an experienced MDM & Data Governance Lead to serve as the strategic and operational bridge between business leadership and the technical teams that build and maintain our enterprise Single Source of Truth (SSOT) platform — a custom-built MDM solution hosted in AWS, covering Customers, Locations, Contracts, Vehicles, and Workforce (Passengers planned). This high-visibility contractor role demands technical credibility, stakeholder gravitas, and disciplined governance leadership.
Approximately 60-75% of this role is focused on SSOT platform leadership and vendor management; the
remaining 25-40% is dedicated to data governance program stewardship. These two areas are intentionally
integrated — the quality of data definitions directly shapes the master data model, and vice versa.
We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.To learn more about how we collect, keep, and process your private information, please review Insight Global's Workforce Privacy Policy: https://insightglobal.com/workforce-privacy-policy/.
Required Skills & Experience
• 7+ years of experience in data management disciplines, with the majority of that experience focused on
Master Data Management.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience owning or leading an MDM program — not just supporting one.
• Direct experience with data governance programs, including data owner and data steward management,
data definition governance, and data quality frameworks.
• Experience managing offshore vendor teams or outsourced development partners, including holding vendors accountable to delivery quality and timelines.
Technical Proficiency
• Functional fluency in MDM platform concepts: golden records, survivorship, matching and merging, domain
modeling.
• Working knowledge of data quality tooling — Soda experience is a strong differentiator.
• Familiarity with data catalog and lineage tools — Atlan experience is a strong differentiator.
• Ability to write and interpret SQL queries (PostgreSQL preferred) at a working level — sufficient to
interrogate SSOT data, validate definitions, and support ad-hoc business reporting. This is not a hands-on
engineering role.
• Comfort with AWS-hosted data environments and modern data platform concepts.
• Familiarity with data visualization tools (Power BI preferred) to partner effectively with the BI team on
SSOT dashboards.
