**DATA MANAGER/ DATA STEWARD**

Data stewardship is a functional role in data management and governance, with responsibility for ensuring that data policies and standards turn into practice within the steward’s domain. Data stewards assist the enterprise in leveraging domain data assets to full capacity.

Data stewards fill an ever-evolving role as expectations of enterprise data governance get more complex around the world. As the volume, velocity, and variety of data increase—so will the need for more of these data experts.

The data steward can wear multiple hats that serve a specific organization’s needs—at times requiring multiple data stewards to cover multiple domains or business unites.

They’re often seen as the:
Go-to experts for the company with anything in the realm of data; responsible for assuring quality and trust in the data, creating standard definitions for the organization to follow, and maintaining a consistent use of data resources across the organization

Trusted resources who keeps the company adhering to changing data laws locally, regionally, and nationally to avoid penalties or fines

Advocates and thought leaders of data, educating employees and keeping a pulse on new best practices and technology

**What do data stewards do**?

Data stewards carry out six key responsibilities, that otherwise would be overlooked in a data governance program:
Define the data and identify assets within their own data domains. This ensures there isn’t conflict with other data elements.

Create processes and procedures along with access controls to monitor adherence. This includes establishing internal policies and standards—and enforcing those policies.

Maintain quality of the data using customer feedback, concerns, questions; internally reporting metrics; evaluating and identifying issues; and coordinating and implementing corrections regularly.

Optimize workflows and communications.

Monitor data usage to assist teams, share best practice trends in data use, and provide insight into how and where teams can use data to help in day-to-day decision-making.

Ensure compliance and security of the data. Data stewards are responsible for protecting the data—while providing information on potential risks and offering regulatory guidance.

Skills of the Data Manager
- Business know-how skill set

Again, a successful data steward needs to have knowledge of the business and have a business acumen. They need to understand the business needs that inform how data should be stewarded and the business impacts that happen as a result of changes in data or as a result of not addressing data issues. Because of that the data steward should have the ability to talk data geek to the technical IT partners.
- Technical skill set

SQL and Teradata

The data steward is the go-to person for all types of end users for data usage and even data management, so they should be well-versed in the business uses of data, business terms, and the data elements related to them.
- Analysis skill set

When things go south, some of the data issues can be very detailed and complex. A good data steward will have the tenacity to tackle these issues and see them through to their conclusion, and that conclusion isn’t just about solving the issue, but also identifying and fixing the cause of the issue, whenever possible. For this it’s great to have at least some business and technical analysis skills.
- Interpersonal skill set

A data steward must be a good facilitator, communicator, negotiator, and enforcer. The data steward must always look at broader impacts even if they officially only represent one area. So this means that a data steward should be inquisitive in all things and diplomatic at the same time. The data steward also has the ability to communicate effectively with all levels of the organization to show the value of the data stewardship function and help evangelize the importance of data.
