Who we need

Reporting to the Manager of Data Governance, we are seeking a Data Governance Coordinator to join our Knowledge Management team. In this role, you will take ownership of the daily entry of item and Core Master Data, reaching across teams to verify information and share processes.

You will be responsible for managing new item requests, ensuring all entries align with our established data governance standards.

This is a full-time, hybrid role with flexible working hours. You will work Wednesdays plus one other day on-site in Brampton.

Who you are

You are highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with data in a structured environment. You may have experience as an office administrator, in data entry, or a similar role where accuracy and consistency were essential. This opportunity is also well-suited to someone returning to the workforce who is looking for a stable, meaningful position with flexibility and support.

• Create and implement. You will process new item requests and ensure accurate creation in Microsoft Dynamics 365, following best practices and established governance policies. You will support the implementation of governance rules and troubleshoot data-related issues.
• Maintain compliance. You will regularly review audit logs to ensure data practices meet policy requirements. You will support the maintenance of core data policies and procedures and assist with identifying and correcting discrepancies.
• Collaborate. You will liaise with stakeholders across departments to collect data requirements and ensure proper classification. You will support asset management, participate in regression testing during system updates, and contribute to the success of broader data initiatives.

What you bring:

• The administrative foundation. You have experience in office administration and data entry. You are process-driven and thrive in structured environments where accuracy and consistency matter. You can follow and enforce established procedures, document processes clearly, and maintain organized records. You can manage multiple priorities with efficiency, ensuring no detail is overlooked. You take pride in the integrity of your work and understand the importance of accurate data in supporting business decisions.
• The technical skills. You are proficient in MS Office, particularly Excel, and can confidently navigate spreadsheets, formulas, and data functions. You may have experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 or a similar ERP system. Exposure to data governance principles and compliance best practices would be an asset.
• The organizational abilities. You have strong time management and organizational skills. You can plan, prioritize, and manage your workload to meet deadlines without compromising accuracy or quality. You keep track of recurring tasks and know how to stay ahead of the day’s demands. You communicate openly and transparently within and across teams.
• The adaptability. You are a quick learner who embraces new systems, tools, and procedures. You are open to feedback and take the initiative to continuously improve your skills and processes. You remain calm and focused when priorities shift, or unexpected issues arise. You are confident working across departments and can adjust your communication style to different teams and situations
