What role will you play?

You will partner with stakeholders to identify and document critical data elements, including business definitions, ownership, and quality expectations.

Additionally, the role also involves supporting the implementation and adoption of Enterprise Data Management tools (e.g., Collibra, Informatica IDQ) and frameworks. You will work closely with business units to promote awareness and adherence to data governance policies, standards, and best practices, as well as facilitate workshops to define business metadata and ensure alignment with governance principles. Additionally, you will perform data profiling and quality assessments to improve confidence in data accuracy, provide advisory support on data governance policies, standards, and best practices, and contribute to process design and continuous improvement initiatives for data governance.
