You'll play a key role in helping clients embed governance and stewardship into their daily work. This is a hands-on role focused on executing governance activities, supporting metadata cataloging, and applying practical data quality controls. Just as important, this person will act as a communicator and facilitator—helping form working groups, align business and technical teams, and coach client staff on how to take ownership as data stewards.
Core Responsibilities

• Support the design of tailored data governance programs, with recommendations on processes, team structure, decision rights and boundaries.

• Design policies and controls for effective data governance execution.

• Bring a modern perspective on the design and rollout of data governance.

• Communicate governance concepts in clear business language; prepare presentations, training materials, and adoption guides.

• Facilitate data governance working groups to drive alignment between business and technology stakeholders.

• Execute metadata management activities such as cataloging, lineage capture, and stewardship workflows.

• Partner with business teams to draft and maintain business rules, definitions, and data quality controls.

• Apply data quality processes such as profiling, monitoring, and issue management, ensuring rules are practical and adopted.

• Support the installation, configuration, rollout and adoption of governance/metadata tools (e.g., Collibra, Alation, Atlan, Purview).

• Coach client staff on data stewardship practices—showing them how to govern their data effectively and sustainably.

• Provide input on access controls, privacy, and compliance with regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)

• Collaborate with data engineers, analysts, and business owners to embed governance into daily workflows, platform pipelines, modeling practices, and observability.

• Metadata Tools & Platform Enablement

• Install and configure metadata/catalog tools in client environments.

• Build and curate catalogs, including ingestion of technical metadata, business glossaries, and lineage.

• Define user personas and design role-appropriate experiences (data stewards, data owners, analysts, engineers).

• Tailor tool UX (workflows, dashboards, search optimization) to improve usability and adoption.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in data governance, metadata management, and MDM roles.

• Hands-on experience with MDM tools (Semarchy, Profisee, Informatica, or equivalent).

• Exposure to data quality tools and processes (Talend, Ataccama, or equivalent).

• Strong communication skills: able to facilitate workshops, write clear business documentation, and present to mixed audiences.

• Demonstrated ability to define and obtain alignment for definition, business rules and data quality controls.

• Familiarity with governance operating models and stewardship practices.

• Knowledge of privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA) and how governance practices support compliance

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent work experience)

• Willingness to travel up to 50% per month (10 of 20 business days) when required by our clients

Preferred Skills

• Experience leading or supporting data governance working groups or stewardship councils.

• Knowledge of data access provisioning, integration patterns, or lineage capture.

• Experience building adoption materials, training guides, or playbooks for governance programs.

• Prior client-facing consulting experience.
