• Data Lineage & Cataloging: Work with data architects to map end-to-end data lineage (system-of-origin to system-of-consumption) and support the population of the Enterprise Data Catalog.
• Tooling Oversight: Evaluate and maximize the ROI of technical data governance and data quality tools. Review outputs from data profiling and automated quality checks.
• Querying & Validation: Perform lightweight data profiling and validation to verify data quality issues independently before escalating to engineering teams.

• Strategic Execution: Proven track record of drafting data policies, defining CDEs, and successfully establishing a network of data stewards.
• Communication: Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate complex technical constraints into business realities, and vice-versa.
• Certifications: Certifications such as CDMP (Certified Data Management Professional) or equivalent are highly preferred.
  
  

• Query Languages: Foundational ability to read and write SQL to query databases, perform basic data profiling, and validate data sets independently.
• Governance Tooling: Familiarity and hands-on conceptual knowledge of industry- standard enterprise tools such as Informatica (Axon, EDC, IDQ), Collibra, or Alation.
• Data Architecture Concepts: Strong conceptual understanding of Relational Databases, Data Warehousing, Data Lakes, and Cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure) to effectively converse with technical architects.
• BI & Reporting: Appreciation for Business Intelligence tools (Power BI, Tableau) to design and interpret data quality dashboards.
