“I can succeed as a Data Governance & Enablement Specialist at Capital Group.” 

Capital Group's Enterprise Data Governance (EDG) team is pioneering a new approach to data governance — one powered by AI, automated through code, and designed to scale across a $2.7 trillion global investment management firm.

You'll work side-by-side with your teammates in a growing EDG team where everyone contributes directly to building capabilities. If you want to shape the future of how organizations govern data in the age of AI, and you're ready to do the work to make it real, this role is for you.
