• Facilitate cross-functional working sessions to resolve conflicting retention requirements between business units
• Document current-county data lifecycle practices and identify gaps against target-county governance policies

• Support audit and compliance requests related to data retention and disposition
• Track and report on data lifecycle policy adoption and compliance across the organization
• Maintain data governance documentation, including retention matrices, policy decisions, and stakeholder sign-offs

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; comfortable presenting to both business and technical audiences

• Experience with data governance Tool selection
• Familiarity with HIPAA and county-level insurance data retention regulations
