Working closely with the Director, AI Enablement and the Corporate Affairs AI Enablement team, this role will strengthen the data discipline required for AI solutions to perform effectively in production.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

  • Assess data readiness for priority AI use cases, helping identify whether the required data is available, usable, and of sufficient quality to support reliable solution performance.
  • Partner with data owners, IT, and delivery teams to define and document data sources, data definitions, quality requirements, and usage constraints for each initiative.
  • Monitor data quality against agreed standards and highlight issues early, supporting remediation actions that improve the accuracy and dependability of AI outputs.
  • Help establish and maintain data management practices such as metadata, lineage, documentation, and control processes that improve transparency and reusability across the portfolio.
  • Support the preparation, validation, and ongoing maintenance of datasets used in AI solutions, ensuring they remain current, structured, and fit for business use.
  • Coordinate with relevant teams on data access, retention, privacy, and governance requirements so AI use cases are supported by compliant and well-controlled data practices.
  • Identify recurring data issues and improvement opportunities across the portfolio, contributing to stronger long-term data foundations rather than one-off fixes.
  • Produce clear reporting on data quality status, readiness risks, and remediation progress, giving stakeholders better visibility into the health of the data supporting AI delivery.
  • Contribute to responsible AI governance by helping ensure data used in AI solutions is handled appropriately, documented clearly, and aligned with internal policy and regulatory expectations.

Essential Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Data Management, Business Analytics, Statistics, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Additional training or certification in data management, data governance, data quality, or analytics is preferred.
  • 8-12 years of experience in data management, data governance, data quality, business intelligence, analytics support, or related roles, ideally within a corporate environment.
  • Extensive experience with AI platforms or toolchains (Claude, GPT, Azure OpenAI, Langfuse, vector databases etc.)
  • Experience assessing data readiness, documenting data sources and definitions, and supporting data quality improvement for business-critical processes, analytics, or technology solutions.
  • Strong understanding of data quality dimensions, metadata, lineage, ownership, controls, and the data management practices required to support reliable business outcomes.
  • Experience partnering with IT, data owners, and business stakeholders to improve data consistency, accessibility, and governance across multiple workstreams.
  • Familiarity with the data requirements that underpin AI, machine learning, or advanced analytics solutions, including the importance of fit-for-purpose, well-governed, and trusted data inputs.
  • Demonstrated track record of identifying data issues, coordinating remediation, and improving confidence in the data supporting reporting, analytics, or digital solutions.
  • Experience producing clear documentation, status reporting, and management information on data quality, risks, and remediation progress.
  • Understanding of data privacy, access controls, retention requirements, and responsible data handling practices in a corporate setting.

Desirable Requirements:

  • Experience supporting Corporate Affairs, communications, reputation, or other business-facing functions is preferred.
