Data Program Director

Lead a high-visibility data transformation across a global terminal and logistics network, turning fragmented data into trusted, scalable business capability.

The mission is not merely to deploy technology; it is to create a scalable data operating model that improves availability, quality, integration, governance, and measurable business value. As Data Program Director, you will be the connective tissue between business leaders, IT, terminal operations, Group functions, and external partners.
