Position Overview
BetaNXT is seeking a Data Specialist to join our growing Data Governance team, reporting to the Manager, Data & Context Governance.

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.

- 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.

- 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.
