Job Overview:
Client requires a Data Governance Lead (DGL) to support the CIS Program. The DGL will be responsible for establishing, leading, and maturing a province-wide health data governance program that ensures health system data is trusted, secure, ethically used, and leveraged for public good. This role provides strategic leadership across the health system to define the “rules of the road” for health data use and management — spanning legislation, policy, standards, stewardship, custodianship and oversight while enabling clinical transformation, analytics, and secondary use of data at scale. The Data Governance Lead acts as the primary integrator between policy, privacy, clinical operations, analytics, and digital health platforms, translating legislative intent into practical, operational governance across the provincial health system.

The DGL is expected to have extensive experience in public sector data governance, health system planning and digital health planning and/or operational planning. Moreover, the individual needs to have experience leading or supporting policy development, and data governance at provincial scale. The DGL will be required to work closely with other business stream team members (Business Intelligence and Privacy workstream teams), the Department of Health (Innovation and eHealth group), various Chief Privacy Officers (CPOs), clinicians, subject matter experts (SMEs), and health administrative stakeholders on data governance development and alignment efforts. This role serves as a leader to drive the end-to-end strategy, planning and implementation of a province-wide health data governance strategy and its corresponding enablers to ensure full-scale buy-in and adoption.

Job Responsibilities:
Legislative, Policy, and Compliance Alignment:
• Providing recommendations on legislative and regulatory approaches and other policy levers needed to enable data governance objectives. Translating provincial health information legislation (e.g., PHIPPA) into clear governance policies and operational guidance for RHAs, DH, SNB and other health system partners. The DGL will support modernization initiatives related to privacy, consent, information network designation, and secondary use of health data

Provincial Data Governance Strategy & Framework:
• Leading the design and implementation of a provincial health data governance framework that supports responsible and ethnical use of data. This will include policies, standards, decision rights, and accountability models across the health data lifecycle (collection, use, disclosure, retention, and secondary use)
• The DGL will also lead the development of data classification schemas, data ownership models, and governance artefacts that support consistent and compliant data use across all organization. Alignment of governance with provincial digital health initiatives, the Symbio CIS transformation, and enterprise analytics function will be imperative

Stakeholder Engagement:
• Acting as a trusted advisor to senior leaders across the Department of Health, RHAs, SNB, and system partners on data governance and secondary data use. Lead stakeholder engagement, facilitation, and socialization activities to build shared understanding of data governance principles, benefits, and obligations. Support patient engagement as another key stakeholder segment to build the public’s data literacy and understanding of how patient data is used and foster public trust

System-Wide Governance Enablement:
• Establishing and supporting health system data governance committees/councils and working groups, ensuring effective oversight, decision-making, and escalation pathways. The DGL will facilitate the definition of data management roles and responsibilities (data owners, stewards, custodians) across the provincial health system. Moreover, the DGL will drive adoption of shared data governance practices, including common data dictionaries and standards

Enablement of Analytics & Secondary Use of Data:
• Enabling secure, compliant, and efficient secondary use of health data for analytics, performance management, research, and policy development. Collaborate with analytics, privacy, and broader health system stakeholders to ensure governance supports appropriate access (i.e. with access controls defined and implemented). The DGL will also champion data quality, standardization, and interoperability as foundations for health system intelligence
