Question:
What is the title these days for a person that assures data quality?
(I need to hire a person to make sure my data is as good as it can be. They need to inspect the data for issues, create logic for how it can be found and fixed, and finally, court the project through application development for a robust solution to stop it from occurring in the first place.)
Answer:
Quality of the data shouldnt be a responsibility of just one person — ideally, you want all members of the team (and broader business community) to care and own some part of it. But i like the idea of one person owning the “co-ordination” of how this gets done. It might not be a full time gig in a small org but can see this as a full time role in bigger orgs and enterprises. Some titles:
- data co-ordinator
- Data quality analyst (or just data analyst)
- Data steward
- Master data management analyst
- Data quality engineer (or just data engineer)
- Project manager (data quality)
- Manager, data quality and master data management
