The Data Governance Analyst is an essential operational contributor on the Data Governance team, responsible for executing and sustaining governance practices across data quality, metadata, standards, and lifecycle management. Working alongside governance operations leaders, business data stewards, and technology teams, this role provides the analytical depth and hands-on execution that keeps governance processes running reliably and data assets well-documented. The Analyst plays a pivotal role in identifying, investigating, and resolving data quality issues that affect the accuracy of Medicare Advantage operations — from member eligibility and claims processing to provider data and risk adjustment reporting.
Investigate data inconsistencies, anomalies, and quality failures across enterprise systems and data pipelines, performing thorough root cause analysis to identify the source and scope of issues. Document findings, recommend corrective actions, and collaborate with technical and business teams to drive timely resolution and prevent recurrence.
Support the definition, implementation, monitoring, and resolution of data quality rules and thresholds across key enterprise data domains. Track quality metrics over time, prepare summary reporting for governance stakeholders, and flag deteriorating trends that require escalation or intervention.
Maintain the accuracy, completeness, and currency of the enterprise data glossary, metadata catalog, and lineage documentation across governed data assets. Partner with data stewards and platform teams to ensure new and modified data assets are cataloged consistently and in accordance with governance standards.
Track governance issues, decisions, and action items through their full lifecycle — from intake through resolution and adoption — using governance workflow tools and tracking systems. Produce regular status reports and dashboards that keep governance leaders and business stakeholders informed of open items, resolution progress, and trend patterns.
Support the validation of data across integration, transformation, and enrichment processes by executing data checks, comparing source-to-target results, and identifying discrepancies that require governance review. Collaborate with data engineering teams to ensure governance validation standards are applied consistently within data pipelines.
Assist in ensuring that governed data assets meet HIPAA privacy requirements, CMS reporting standards, and Medicare Advantage-specific data obligations by supporting audit documentation, data access reviews, and compliance validation activities. Maintain awareness of regulatory data requirements and flag governance gaps that could introduce compliance risk.
This is an individual contributor role with no direct supervisory responsibilities.
