Manager, People Data Governance

ABOUT VEG

In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most by challenging norms and fixing the ER experience. Since then, we’ve expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7/365, and created an ER experience that focuses on what our pets and pet parents really need. We’ve done the same for our people (VEGgies), finding a way to say YES so they are empowered to achieve great things, grow in unexpected ways, and find a place where they truly belong.

We’re rethinking emergency care from every angle—from how we run our hospitals to how we support the people working inside them. That’s where our headquarters team comes in. Whether building technology to make our hospitals more efficient, recruiting and growing incredible VEGgies, or bringing our brand to life through marketing, our VQ (VEG Headquarters) team makes it all possible—ensuring our hospitals and people have everything they need to help pets and their families.

VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.

THE JOB

At VEG, we find a way to say YES—so you can bring that mindset to how we build the People data systems that VEG runs on. VEG is scaling a hospital network where workforce decisions directly affect our ability to help people and their pets when they need it most, and this role makes those decisions clearer, faster, and more trusted. As Manager, People Data Governance, you'll build the foundation for scalable people data across our organization. This is a foundational role with real impact: you'll create the single source of truth that enables our leaders to say YES to smarter, faster decisions. If you're energized by building from the ground up, partnering across teams, and making data work for people—not the other way around—we want you on our team.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Define and enforce people data governance standards by establishing consistent metric definitions, naming conventions, and data attributes across core HR domains, including headcount, turnover, DEI, recruiting, and internal mobility.
• Translate business requirements into scalable data standards by maintaining the people data dictionary, data hierarchy, business definitions, and documentation that support consistent reporting across People processes.
• Own people master data quality by leading data audits, resolving data issues, validating organizational hierarchies, evaluating system changes, and ensuring the accuracy and integrity of workforce data.
• Partner with Solutions & Insights, HRBPs, COEs, Finance, and IT/Data Engineering to define workforce data requirements, support cross-functional initiatives, and serve as the trusted advisor on people metrics and analytics.
