3. Tech Stack & Automation Ownership

• Platform Strategy: Select and manage our governance platforms (e.g., Atlan, Collibra, or Microsoft Purview), ensuring they integrate seamlessly with our data lake.
• Metamodel Design: Configure tools to link business terms to physical technical assets, creating a transparent data lineage.
• Governance-as-Code: Partner with Data Engineering to automate quality checks and PII masking within the CI/CD pipeline.

4. Risk, Compliance & Culture

• Enterprise DQ Reporting: Build "Data Health Dashboards" for the Executive team to provide visibility into our data reliability.
• Change Management: Lead the cultural shift from "data is IT’s problem" to "data is a strategic business asset."
• Literacy Programs: Develop workshops to empower non-technical staff to read, interpret, and respect data.

Qualifications:

• Experience: 9+ years of leadership experience in Data Governance, Data Engineering, or Data Strategy within a high-growth environment.
• Technical Proficiency: Advanced SQL and Python skills are essential. You should be comfortable auditing a data platform directly and working with APIs for automation.
• Framework Expertise: Deep knowledge of modern data architectures (Data Mesh, Data Vault 2.0) and how to apply governance within them.
• Regulatory Knowledge: Intimate familiarity with NDPR, GDPR, and fintech-specific data regulations.
• Education: A Bachelor degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience).
