ROLE OVERVIEW

Our client is in the middle of one of the most significant chapters in its history. With a new merger now officially approved and integration underway, the Data Governance team is not standing still. They are actively redesigning how governance is done, shifting from a traditional approval model to a comprehensive, triage-based approach that connects privacy, policy, auditing, and data cataloging into a unified framework.

This contract opportunity puts you directly alongside the Data Governance Manager as her closest collaborator. You will lead technical initiatives, guide junior team members, support a four-pillar governance transformation, build Power Automate workflows, and present to SVP-level stakeholders. If you thrive when priorities shift quickly and want a role with real organizational visibility, this one delivers.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Partner closely with the Data Governance Manager on a team-wide governance transformation, shifting from an approval-based model to a triage-based, cross-functional governance approach that incorporates privacy, policy, and auditing
• Manage and maintain the Alation data cataloging platform, including metadata validation, connector management, token upkeep, and user onboarding
• Build and enhance workflows using Microsoft Power Automate, including approval flows and integrations connecting systems that do not natively communicate
• Prepare and deliver executive-level presentations and project updates to SVP and senior leadership
• Provide technical guidance and day-to-day support to junior contractors on the team
• Participate in triage meetings with data requestors, ensuring requirements are captured and compliance standards are maintained
• Collaborate with privacy and policy teams to ensure governance efforts meet organizational and regulatory standards
• Track requests, surface trends, and generate metrics using Tableau dashboards
• Engage with end users and cross-functional stakeholders to gather requirements and maintain strong working relationships
• Adapt quickly as team priorities evolve through ongoing merger integration

REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• 3 or more years of experience in data governance, data operations, or a closely related corporate technical role
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Power Automate, including building or maintaining automation workflows (this is a high priority)
• Familiarity with data cataloging platforms such as Alation or a comparable tool
• Experience presenting to and communicating with VP or SVP-level stakeholders
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple competing priorities in a fast-changing environment
• Strong process orientation paired with big-picture strategic thinking
• Experience with AI tools (Copilot, similar agents) in a professional setting
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a polished, professional presence

NICE-TO-HAVE SKILLS

• SQL (basic to intermediate)
• Python or JSON experience
• BI background (Tableau or similar)
• Background in privacy or policy compliance
• Experience with metadata management frameworks or governance standards
• Experience navigating organizational change or merger integrations
