Position Summary
CVS Health is building a world-class analytics organization within the Procurement Center of Excellence (CoE), and we are looking for a Manager, Data Enablement & Quality to help lay the foundation it runs on. This is a technical role for someone who thinks rigorously about data and can communicate clearly with business stakeholders. You will be responsible for ensuring procurement has access to the right data, structured correctly, and delivered in a way that analysts and business users can actually trust and use.
Day to day, that means working with the enterprise Data Portal and IT partners to assess available data, close gaps, and build governed BigQuery datasets that serve as the single source of truth for procurement reporting. Over time, the role will grow into a broader data stewardship function, including data profiling, quality program development, and driving master data standards across procurement domains. Strong candidates will be hands-on technically, comfortable working across IT and business teams, and motivated by building something that others will rely on.
Note: This is a hybrid role requiring 2 days per week minimum (Tuesday & Wednesday) at either the Hartford or 1 CVS Drive Offices.
1. Data Access & Foundation Building
- Evaluate procurement data needs against assets available in the enterprise Data Portal, assessing domain coverage, field definitions, and data quality scores to determine fitness for use.
- Where gaps exist, partner with IT and system owners to extract and land the required data in GCP, ensuring it is properly structured and documented for use in BigQuery.
- Build and maintain BigQuery tables, views, and data models that transform source data into clean, standardized gold-layer datasets for procurement reporting and analytics.
- Determine the right delivery mechanism for each dataset: publish as a data source in Tableau Server with row-level security and semantic modeling where a dashboard is needed, or document as a BigQuery table or view for consumption via Python, Dataiku, or other tools where one is not.
2. Data Product Stewardship
- Ensure every dataset the CoE produces is fully documented, including field definitions, business logic, data lineage, refresh cadence, and known limitations.
- Work with business SMEs to validate that data definitions and logic are correct, and obtain sign-off before datasets are published for broad use.
- Drive consolidation toward a single source of truth within each procurement data domain. Where multiple reports or datasets exist covering the same business question with inconsistent logic, this role is responsible for resolving that fragmentation into one authoritative, well-defined dataset.
- Over time, develop repeatable processes for how data products are defined, reviewed, approved, and maintained as the CoE matures.
3. Data Quality
- Assess, clean, and prepare procurement data as part of building the first iteration of gold-layer datasets, identifying and resolving issues with completeness, consistency, and structure.
- Use quality scores and metadata from the Data Portal as a baseline, and document additional quality findings surfaced during the build process.
- As the foundation matures, implement data profiling practices to identify where quality breaks down across procurement processes, and distinguish between issues that can be fixed in the data layer versus those that require upstream process changes.
- Partner with IT, system owners, and business stakeholders to advocate for and implement durable fixes at the source rather than building around problems downstream.
4. Stakeholder Partnership
- Translate requirements from procurement stakeholders and CoE analysts into technical data solutions, and communicate clearly about what the data can and cannot support.
- Proactively surface data gaps, quality issues, and coverage limitations to business partners and CoE leadership, and help drive prioritization decisions around how to address them.
- Serve as a technical resource for CoE analysts acting as data product owners, ensuring the datasets they depend on are reliable, well-documented, and understood.
Required Qualifications
- 5 or more years of experience in a data, analytics engineering, or business intelligence role with a strong SQL and data modeling focus
- Advanced SQL skills, including complex data modeling, transformation logic, and building layered views and datasets in a cloud data warehouse
- Hands-on experience with Google BigQuery or a comparable cloud platform such as Snowflake or Redshift
- Experience building and publishing data sources in Tableau Server, including row-level security and semantic layer configuration
- Working knowledge of data quality principles, governance concepts, and what it takes to produce a dataset others can trust
- Ability to communicate technical work clearly to non-technical business stakeholders
- Comfortable driving work forward independently and bringing structure to problems that are not yet well-defined
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with GCP services including Google Cloud Storage and Dataproc
- Experience with Python for data validation, automation, or lightweight processing tasks
- Familiarity with Dataiku or similar tools used for ad hoc analysis against structured datasets
- Experience with data transformation or orchestration tools such as dbt
- Experience with SAP Ariba, SAP S/4HANA, or ServiceNow as data sources
- Experience working with enterprise data catalog or data portal tools
- Familiarity with master data management concepts and data profiling techniques
- Background in procurement, supply chain, finance operations, or a similarly complex enterprise domain is a plus but not required
Education
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field.
OR
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or Supply Chain with an extensive background in data analytics and business intelligence data engineering.

Search Biotech & Pharma Jobs in Rhode IslandBiotech & Pharma E-3 Sponsorship Jobs in Rhode Island: Frequently Asked Questions
Which biotech and pharma companies sponsor E-3 visas in Rhode Island?
Rhode Island's biotech and pharma sponsorship activity is more concentrated than neighboring states. Amgen has a notable presence, and contract research and development organizations operating in the Providence area have a history of sponsoring specialty occupation visas. Smaller life sciences firms affiliated with the Wavemaker Rhode Island and Brown University ecosystems also hire internationally, though sponsorship decisions are made case by case and are never guaranteed.
Which cities in Rhode Island have the most biotech and pharma E-3 sponsorship jobs?
Providence is the primary hub, benefiting from proximity to Brown University, the Warren Alpert Medical School, and Rhode Island Hospital, which collectively support a life sciences hiring corridor. East Providence and the greater Providence metro also host contract manufacturing and analytical services firms. Woonsocket has historically been significant given CVS Health's headquarters there, which includes pharmacy and health sciences functions that occasionally require specialty occupation hires.
What types of biotech and pharma roles typically qualify for E-3 sponsorship in Rhode Island?
E-3 eligibility requires the position to qualify as a specialty occupation, meaning it normally requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field directly related to the duties. In biotech and pharma, roles that commonly meet this standard include research scientists, clinical research associates, regulatory affairs specialists, bioinformaticians, quality assurance engineers, and formulation chemists. General laboratory technician roles or positions where any science degree is accepted regardless of field may face more scrutiny during the Labor Condition Application review.
How do I find biotech and pharma E-3 sponsorship jobs in Rhode Island?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. You can filter by visa type (E-3), industry (Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals), and state (Rhode Island) to surface roles where employers have demonstrated willingness to sponsor. Because Rhode Island's biotech market is smaller than Boston's, setting up alerts and checking regularly is worthwhile. Migrate Mate's listings focus on verified sponsorship signals, which saves time compared to sorting through postings that don't address visa sponsorship at all.
Are there any Rhode Island-specific considerations for E-3 sponsorship in biotech and pharma?
Rhode Island's life sciences sector is smaller and more research-oriented than the commercial pharma clusters in New Jersey or California, so the volume of E-3 opportunities is limited. Many positions are tied to academic medical centers or early-stage companies, which can mean longer hiring cycles and more rigorous specialty occupation documentation requirements. Australian applicants should confirm that a prospective employer has prior experience with E-3 or H-1B visa sponsorship, since first-time sponsors may need additional preparation time to complete the Labor Condition Application and petition process.
What is the prevailing wage for E-3 biotech & pharma jobs in Rhode Island?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
