Overview

NTT DATA is seeking a Collibra expert to support enterprise data governance initiatives for a large‑scale client environment.

• Support metadata curation and enrichment, including linking technical metadata, business terms, policies, and processes.

Lineage, Classification & Governance Enablement

• Support technical and business lineage use cases by enabling visibility across source‑to‑report data flows.
• Assist with data classification and tagging (including sensitive data where applicable) in alignment with governance policies.
• Support policy linkage and governance controls within Collibra to enable compliance and auditability.

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Work with data stewards, governance leads, and business stakeholders to capture governance requirements and translate them into Collibra configurations, and develop custom workflows if required.
• Support onboarding and adoption by guiding users on how to discover, understand, and trust data using Collibra.
• Communicate governance concepts clearly to both technical and non‑technical audiences.

Platform Integration & Support

• Support integration of Collibra with upstream and downstream systems (data platforms, BI tools, metadata scanners, APIs).
• Assist with ongoing platform usage, operational support, and continuous improvement of Collibra configurations.
• Partner with platform and architecture teams as needed (deployment and infrastructure are not primary responsibilities).

• 7+ years of experience with Collibra as a data governance and data catalog platform.
• Practical experience working with:
  • Business glossaries and stewardship models
  • Data cataloging and asset certification
  • Governance workflows
  • Metadata and lineage concepts
• Familiarity with adjacent governance or catalog tools (e.g., Alation) is a plus.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills.

  • Asset discovery and certification
  • Business and technical lineage
  • Policy and governance enablement
  • Role‑based access and stewardship models
• Working knowledge of SQL and general data platform concepts.
• Exposure to cloud‑based data platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Ability to learn and adapt within a complex enterprise environment.
• US Citizenship or Green Card required.
