To thrive as a Metadata Manager, you need strong expertise in data management, metadata standards, taxonomy, and information architecture, typically supported by a related degree in library science, information management, or computer science. Familiarity with metadata management tools (e.g., Collibra, Informatica), data catalog systems, and knowledge of data governance frameworks is essential.
