Position Overview

BetaNXT is seeking a Data Specialist to join our growing Data Governance team, reporting to the Manager, Data & Context Governance. This role is responsible for the day-to-day execution of data stewardship activities for an assigned business domain — maintaining data quality, metadata, and documentation standards that keep BetaNXT's data assets accurate, well-organized, and trustworthy.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role. The Data Specialist works closely with their manager and assigned business domain partners to apply governance standards consistently, resolve data quality issues, and maintain the data catalog and related artifacts. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented data professional to build a career in data governance within a growing wealth management technology organization.

Duties and Responsibilities

Data Stewardship

• Apply data governance policies, procedures, and standards established by the Manager, Data & Context Governance consistently across assigned areas.
• Partner with business and technical stakeholders in the assigned domain to understand data needs and resolve day-to-day data questions and issues.

Data Quality Management

• Monitor data quality within the assigned domain against defined standards and metrics.
• Identify, log, and help resolve data quality issues, escalating systemic or cross-domain issues to the Manager.
• Support root-cause analysis for recurring data quality problems.

Data Cataloging & Documentation

• Maintain and update the data catalog and data dictionary for assigned data assets, ensuring definitions, lineage, and classifications are current and accurate.
• Document data governance processes, decisions, and issue resolutions clearly and consistently.
• Support ongoing data classification efforts to ensure proper accessibility and use of data assets.

Compliance Support

• Support compliance with data protection and privacy requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, or other applicable standards) within the assigned domain.
• Flag potential compliance or data handling concerns to the Manager.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Participate in training and enablement activities to build data literacy within the assigned business domain.
• Provide input on process improvements based on day-to-day stewardship experience.
• Collaborate with other Data Specialists and the Manager to maintain consistent standards across domains.

Skills and Experience

• 3-5 years of experience in data management, data quality, or data stewardship, ideally within financial services, banking, or wealth management.
• Working knowledge of data governance principles, including metadata management, data classification, and data quality practices.
• Familiarity with data governance or catalog tools (e.g., Data.World, Informatica, Collibra, Alation) is a plus.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to maintain accurate, well-organized documentation.
• Good communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with business and technical stakeholders across time zones.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote, offshore team structure while maintaining close alignment with a US-based manager.
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Information Systems, Business, Finance) or equivalent practical experience.
