Another Source's client, University of Idaho, is recruiting a remote Data Governance Manager to join their team in Moscow, Idaho. This is an onsite opportunity with relocation assistance available.
This is an opportunity to build something that matters.
The University of Idaho is seeking a Data Governance Manager to help establish and mature its enterprise-wide data governance program. Rather than stepping into a fully developed structure, you'll have the opportunity to shape the policies, frameworks, partnerships, and practices that define how data is managed, protected, and used across the institution.
Reporting directly to the Chief Data and AI Officer, this role offers significant institutional visibility and the opportunity to work closely with executive leadership, technology teams, academic departments, and administrative partners.
You'll operate at the intersection of people, policy, and technology, bringing together stakeholders across a decentralized university to establish shared standards, strengthen data quality, and create a culture of accountability and trust.
This position is especially well-suited for someone who enjoys building programs, navigating organizational complexity, and translating big-picture strategy into practical solutions. Your work will help establish the data foundation that enables better decisions, stronger research capabilities, and responsible innovation, including emerging AI initiatives.
