Data Management and Strategy is pivotal for any organization that handles large volumes of data. The role that falls in this area encompasses various aspects of data governance, ensuring that data is managed effectively and efficiently across the organization.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Metadata Management: Ensuring that data is well-documented and easily accessible.
  2. Data Quality: Maintaining high standards of data accuracy and consistency.
  3. Reference and Master Data Management: Managing key data entities to ensure uniformity across the organization.
  4. Unstructured Data Management: Handling data that doesn't fit into traditional databases, such as text documents and multimedia files.
  5. Data Products: Developing and managing data-driven products that provide value to the organization.

Data Strategy involves guiding the organization towards becoming more data-literate and leveraging data for strategic decision-making. This includes:

  • Uplifting Data Literacy: Educating and empowering employees to use data effectively.
  • Strategic Data Initiatives: Implementing projects that align with the organization's goals and enhance its data capabilities.

This role is essential for driving data-driven decision-making and ensuring that data is a valuable asset for the organization.
