Director Data Governance Jobs in Wheat Ridge, CO

Title: Data Governance Analyst

Location: Greenwood Village, CO | 4 days onsite, 1 remote

Contract Type: Long-term contract

Pay Rate: $58/hr

ROLE OVERVIEW

Our client is in the middle of one of the most significant chapters in its history. With a new merger now officially approved and integration underway, the Data Governance team is not standing still. They are actively redesigning how governance is done, shifting from a traditional approval model to a comprehensive, triage-based approach that connects privacy, policy, auditing, and data cataloging into a unified framework.

This contract opportunity puts you directly alongside the Data Governance Manager as her closest collaborator. You will lead technical initiatives, guide junior team members, support a four-pillar governance transformation, build Power Automate workflows, and present to SVP-level stakeholders. If you thrive when priorities shift quickly and want a role with real organizational visibility, this one delivers.

RESPONSIBILITIES

● Manage and maintain the Alation data cataloging platform, including metadata validation, connector management, token upkeep, and user onboarding

● Build and enhance workflows using Microsoft Power Automate, including approval flows and integrations connecting systems that do not natively communicate

● Prepare and deliver executive-level presentations and project updates to SVP and senior leadership

● Provide technical guidance and day-to-day support to junior contractors on the team

● Participate in triage meetings with data requestors, ensuring requirements are captured and compliance standards are maintained

● Collaborate with privacy and policy teams to ensure governance efforts meet organizational and regulatory standards

● Track requests, surface trends, and generate metrics using Tableau dashboards

● Engage with end users and cross-functional stakeholders to gather requirements and maintain strong working relationships

● Adapt quickly as team priorities evolve through ongoing merger integration

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

● 3 or more years of experience in data governance, data operations, or a closely related corporate technical role

● Hands-on experience with Microsoft Power Automate, including building or maintaining automation workflows (this is a high priority)

● Familiarity with data cataloging platforms such as Alation or a comparable tool

● Experience presenting to and communicating with VP or SVP-level stakeholders

● Demonstrated ability to manage multiple competing priorities in a fast-changing environment

● Strong process orientation paired with big-picture strategic thinking

● Experience with AI tools (Copilot, similar agents) in a professional setting

● Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a polished, professional presence

NICE-TO-HAVE SKILLS

● SQL (basic to intermediate)
