Support Data Platform and governance initiatives

• Prepare concise progress updates for the Data Office and business stakeholders. Track open issues, owners and next steps for catalog adoption and governance work.
• Support the evaluation of AI-assisted metadata documentation, including use-case testing, quality checks and coordination with the platform and AI-governance teams.
• Support the integration of DataGalaxy with the Snowflake Data Platform. Document synchronization issues and help colleagues resolve them. Contribute to practical ownership, stewardship and data-quality processes for priority use cases.

Strategic Coordination & Alignment

• Contribute to Data Governance communications and the community of Data Owners and Data Stewards.
