This role defines data hygiene strategies for Salesforce and Salesforce Data Cloud, including data streams, identity resolution, segmentation readiness, quality rules, deduplication logic, retention policies, and monitoring metrics. The role partners with Data Stewards, Integration leads, Architecture, Security, Compliance, Business Group data owners, and implementation teams to ensure enterprise data needs are consistently understood, governed, and improved.

You are the person who makes data trust practical, measurable, and sustainable (Ensures Accountability; Drives Results). You can navigate complex source systems, data ownership questions, privacy considerations, and reporting definitions without losing sight of business outcomes (Manages Complexity; Decision Quality). You communicate data issues in clear, actionable language, build alignment across teams that own different parts of the data lifecycle, and create standards people can actually follow (Collaborates; Communicates Effectively). You are disciplined, curious, and persistent in improving data quality because you understand that platform value, analytics, integration, and AI all depend on trusted data foundations (Nimble Learning; Strategic Mindset).
