• Experienced supporting diverse stakeholders and working with cross-functional teams in dynamic environments


• A clear communicator who can explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences


• Product-minded with empathy for end users—you consider how people will actually interact with AI features, not just technical sophistication


• Eager to both learn from others and share knowledge ; AI is evolving rapidly and no one has all the answers

Reporting to Collibra’s Senior Manager of AI Engineering, measures of success are:

• Within your first month, you will familiarize yourself with the existing data platform and data products by diving into the architecture, existing products, and the Collibra platform ecosystem
