  • Excellent communication (written & verbal) and task management skills; comfortable with cross-functional business/IT engagement
The ideal candidate would also have experience in:
  • Working experience in a DevOps development environment, preferably Microsoft-based
  • Hands-on experience with an Enterprise Data Catalog tool (e.g., Alation, Collibra, Microsoft Purview)
  • Experience with a Data Quality Scorecard/Rules Engine tool
  • Exposure to data lineage, reference data, and data stewardship models
  • Understanding of data governance frameworks (policies, standards, controls) and regulatory drivers (e.g., privacy, risk, compliance)
  • Experience facilitating data stewardship forums and familiarity with DevOps Boards (e.g., Azure DevOps) for backlog, tasks, and issue tracking
