The Data Governance Engagement Lead provides enterprise‑level leadership for data governance across Epic EHR and core enterprise systems ( HCM/Financials, ERP, supply chain, analytics platforms), with a specific mandate to establish and mature AI/data governance capabilities.

This role is designed for a healthcare provider organization in the early‑to‑medium stages of AI adoption, where AI tools, predictive analytics, and automation are emerging but require formal governance, structure, and oversight. The Engagement Lead defines standards, operationalizes governance processes, and guides the organization from ad hoc AI usage toward consistent, responsible, and scalable practices.

• Serve as a lead governance authority for clinical, operational, workforce, and financial data across Epic and enterprise platforms.​

• Define and enforce enterprise data standards, ownership models, and system‑of‑record decisions spanning Epic, ERP vendors, and downstream analytics platforms.​

• Partner with Epic application teams to govern data flowing through Clarity, Caboodle, and enterprise data warehouses, ensuring traceability and consistency.​

• Lead the foundational build‑out of AI governance, moving the organization from informal or pilot-based AI usage toward documented, repeatable governance processes.​

• Establish baseline AI governance artifacts, including:​

• AI intake and use‑case documentation​

• Data source and provenance documentation​

• Risk, bias, and limitation awareness statements​

• Partner with analytics, data science, compliance, and operational leaders to ensure AI initiatives align with organizational goals, patient safety expectations, and regulatory requirements.​

• Lead enterprise efforts to improve data quality, metadata, and lineage across clinical and non-clinical systems.​

• Ensure datasets supporting analytics and AI are well‑defined, validated, and fit for intended use.​

• Guide remediation of systemic data quality issues impacting reporting, AI performance, or clinical decision support.​

• Provide governance leadership for enterprise system data including workforce, payroll, finance, supply chain, and organizational hierarchies sourced from Workday and ERP platforms.​

• Define integration governance between Epic and enterprise systems (e.g., provider attributes, staffing, cost centers).​

• Partner with HR and Finance leaders to establish consistent definitions and trusted enterprise reporting.​

• Ensure AI and data governance practices align with HIPAA, CMS, Joint Commission, and emerging AI oversight expectations.​

• Support governance controls to prevent “shadow AI” usage, unmanaged automation, or undocumented analytics operating outside approved workflows.​

• Collaborate with Privacy, Security, and Compliance teams to balance innovation with risk mitigation.​

For salaried positions, this role may also be eligible for an annual performance bonus. Additional benefits and perks may also be available, depending on the position and employment terms. This range reflects consideration of several factors, including skills, experience, training, certifications, and organizational needs.
