As a Data Steward II at Northbridge, you’ll play a key role in strengthening how we manage and trust our data. Working at the intersection of business and technology, you’ll partner with teams across the organization to ensure data is clearly defined, high quality, and used consistently to support better decision-making. As part of a collaborative and high-impact Data & Analytics Governance team, you’ll help shape our data standards, influence how data is governed, and contribute to building a strong data-driven culture.

Building strong relationships and collaborating across business, IT, and analytics teams
Communicating complex data concepts in a clear and approachable way
Influencing and guiding stakeholders toward best practices—no formal authority required
Thinking critically and solving problems, especially when investigating data issues
Bridging gaps between business needs and technical solutions
If you have:
5+ years of experience in data governance, data management, or data analysis with exposure to data quality practices
A solid understanding of data governance principles and working with large datasets or data warehouse environments
Hands-on experience with tools like SQL, Excel, Power BI, or similar data analysis platforms
Familiarity with data governance tools (e.g., data catalogues, business glossaries such as Collibra or Informatica)
Confidence working cross-functionally and contributing to enterprise-wide data standards
We really mean it when we say we put you first. Here are a few ways how:
Hybrid work! You get to work from the office and at home, allowing you to manage both worlds with the ease and flexibility you need.
We offer competitive salaries and support your financial health through our employee share purchase plan, pension plans, RRSP, discounts on staff insurance, and more!
We help you prioritize your well-being from day one through flexible health benefits, early leave days, wellness programs, rewards, and recognition programs.
We are invested in helping you grow in your career through education assistance to complete your CIP, FCIP, CRM or other courses desired, internal mobility, Leadership training and mentoring programs.
NBFC cares about the community and supports the causes you believe in with donation matching and team volunteer days.
We’re committed to pay transparency and fairness. The base salary range for this role is $80,000 - $120,000, which reflects the expected base pay – not the total compensation package. The actual base salary may vary depending on your experience, skills, and alignment with the position. We’re also open to candidates at different levels, so if this range doesn’t quite match your expectations, don’t let that hold you back — we’d still love to hear from you.
This is a real opportunity — we’re actively hiring! If the role sounds like a good fit, we encourage you to apply. Beyond base pay, we offer a robust Total Rewards program that includes benefits, wellness support, and other meaningful perks.
We also want to be transparent about our hiring process. While one of our systems includes AI capabilities, over 99% of our screening is done by real people. We believe in thoughtful, human-centered hiring decisions, and are committed to giving every application the attention it deserves.
