Senior Analyst Salesforce Data Steward

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

Data Workstream Execution & Requirements Delivery

• Lead assigned data workstream activities and coordinate with the Core Team to ensure Salesforce data requirements are understood, prioritized, delivered, validated, and documented
• Translate business process needs into clear data requirements, field definitions, validation expectations, migration rules, and acceptance criteria
• Support data migration, cleansing, enrichment, deduplication, validation, and cutover readiness activities across implementation waves
• Coordinate data issue triage, root-cause analysis, ownership assignment, remediation tracking, and closure reporting
• Maintain data dictionaries, field inventories, decision logs, standards documentation, and stewardship artifacts for assigned domains

Standards, Governance & Quality Controls

• Ensure assigned Salesforce data remains aligned to data quality, data security, data compliance, and global reporting standards
• Serve as arbiter for data model, field, and definition changes that impact global standards, reporting definitions, integrations, or cross-Business Group consistency
• Define and enforce data standards, naming conventions, field-level governance rules, required values, ownership rules, and quality thresholds
• Monitor data quality metrics, identify recurring issues, and drive remediation with business owners, technical teams, and Data Cloud Hygiene leadership

Collaboration, Integration & Operating Support

• Partner with the Data Cloud Hygiene Manager on compliance reporting, audit support, data retention considerations, masking requirements, and quality improvement initiatives
• Support business readiness by explaining standards, training users, documenting expectations, and reinforcing stewardship practices
• Escalate unresolved data conflicts, quality risks, or standards exceptions through the appropriate governance forums

Who You Are:

You bring order to complex data work by turning standards, definitions, and requirements into repeatable execution (Plans and Aligns; Ensures Accountability). You are detail-oriented without losing the broader business context, and you can see how a field definition, duplicate record, or data model change may affect reporting, integration, security, and user adoption (Manages Complexity; Decision Quality). You collaborate effectively with business users and technical teams, communicate requirements clearly, and help resolve data conflicts in a constructive, standards-driven way (Collaborates; Communicates Effectively; Interpersonal Savvy). You are persistent in improving data quality because you understand that trusted data is foundational to Northstar success (Drives Results).

• SQL, Excel, reporting, or analytical tools used to profile data, investigate quality issues, and validate remediation
• Data privacy, security, compliance, access control, and audit support concepts

Interpersonal and Leadership Skills:

• Analytical thinking, attention to detail, and discipline in documenting decisions and standards
• Collaborative approach across business and technical teams, with the ability to explain data concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Conflict resolution skills when data standards, field definitions, or ownership expectations differ across teams
• Process orientation and follow-through on issue remediation, migration readiness, and quality improvement actions
• Comfort escalating risks clearly and constructively through governance channels when standards or delivery outcomes are at risk
