As a Senior Consultant, Data Governance, 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
  • 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.
  • Communicate governance concepts in clear business language; prepare presentations, training materials, and adoption guides.
  • 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.
    • Configure governance workflows (e.g., DG asset approvals, stewardship assignments, issue tracking).
    • Leverage and guide customers on AI-assisted features in modern tools (auto-classification, definition drafting, similarity matching, lineage discovery) to accelerate execution and adoption.

Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience in data governance, metadata management, MDM, or related roles.
  • Hands-on experience with data catalog/metadata tools (e.g., Alation, Collibra, Atlan, Purview).
  • Exposure to data quality tools and processes (Informatica, 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.
