Job Description: Chief Data Officer (Enterprise Data Platform) Location: New York, New York Reports to: Global CIO Department: Starr Technology Group
Overview: The Head of Chief Data Officer (CDO) is a transformative senior leadership role tasked with architecting, building, and scaling Starr’s global enterprise data platform, data organization, and strategy. This executive is responsible for delivering sophisticated data integration, master data management, governance, augmentation, and advanced analytics solutions tailored to support complex insurance business functions, including Actuarial, Underwriting, Claims, Compliance, and Finance—while enabling a unified, global view of enterprise-wide data assets. CDO leads the creation of a modern, comprehensive enterprise data ecosystem, championing technical innovation (cloud, medallion architecture, data augmentation, external data enrichment), robust governance, and seamless accessibility. Beyond platform leadership, the role is accountable for designing and building out a world‑class data organization, encompassing core teams for architecture, engineering, analytics, governance, operations, and stewardship.
Build and structure a robust data organization spanning enterprise data architecture, engineering, governance, data operations, analytics enablement, and data stewardship.
Recruit, mentor, and inspire high‑performing global teams: data architects, engineers, ETL/ELT specialists, platform administrators, data governance and quality experts, data ops/operations, and metadata specialists.
Establish clear lines of responsibility, career growth paths, and collaboration practices for each data function.
Lead design and engineering of complex batch and real‑time pipelines using diverse ingestion patterns (CDC, APIs, files, streaming platforms).
Implement Medallion architectures (bronze/silver/gold layers) leveraging Databricks, Fabric, and other leading cloud‑based data platforms.
Architect, deliver, and manage master data management (MDM) systems for key insurance entities (policies, customers, claims, products, finance).
Develop a comprehensive data augmentation ecosystem to integrate external third‑party data - e.g., catastrophe models, market feeds, regulatory databases, fraud/risk scoring, industry benchmarking - and combine/enrich internal datasets for holistic analysis and reporting.
Define, operationalize, and oversee enterprise‑wide data governance policies for stewardship, quality, access, lineage, cataloguing, and regulatory compliance (GDPR, CCPA, SOX, NAIC, etc.).
Ensure rigorous data privacy, usage, and retention management across all data domains.
Build teams responsible for ongoing governance operations, metadata management, and audit readiness.
Act as the chief liaison for all enterprise data initiatives, collaborating deeply with insurance business functions (Actuarial, Claims, Underwriting, Compliance, Finance, IT, and external partners).
Facilitate business requirement gathering, educate stakeholders on data capabilities, and promote adoption and value realization from data platform investments.
Govern operational reliability, performance, security, scalability, monitoring, and automation of all data assets.
Foster innovation through adoption of new technologies, best practices, and continuous improvement methods; empower agile, cross‑functional working across data teams.
Champion enterprise data literacy and a culture of high performance and transformation.
Manage departmental budgets, resourcing, and vendor relationships for all data platform and organizational functions; drive value realization and cost optimisation for data investments.
Proactively manage risk, business continuity, and compliance for critical data assets and operations.
Define, monitor, and optimise critical metrics: pipeline reliability and latency, data quality, master data coverage and integrity, speed to market for integrations/augmentations, platform scalability and cost efficiency, regulatory compliance, and business user satisfaction.
