This role ensures that HR data is not only physically available, but meaningfully defined, productized where appropriate, discoverable, reusable, and decision‑ready across the enterprise. Acting as a business product owner for HR data products and enterprise business meaning, this leader defines canonical entities and metrics, owns and manages data product lifecycles, and determines appropriate representation models for structured and unstructured data—including graph‑based modeling for relationship‑ and knowledge‑centric data—independent of marketplace publication.
