This will be underpinned by solid knowledge of Azure Entra ID and key DBMS technologies, preferably Snowflake or PostgreSQL, and a working proficiency of SQL.
• Practical application of Data Access Management and Governance in tooling such as Immuta (strongly preferred), Microsoft Purview, Apache Ranger, Privacera, Collibra Protect or GCP Cloud DLP, with experience of native access and masking controls in Snowflake or Databricks.
• Ability to credibly collaborate with data engineers, platform teams, data owners, CISO, privacy, and business users to convert policy and purpose-based access requirements into scalable, auditable, and practical access outcomes.
• Capable to support rollout, onboarding, proof-of-concepts, embedding, user enablement and adoption of Immuta-based Data Access Management and Governance across data producers, consumers, platform teams, risk, privacy, and governance stakeholders.
