Job Summary The Collibra System Administrator will serve as the technical anchor for the Data Governance platform, ensuring its operational health, stability, and connectivity.

This role is responsible for administering the Collibra platform, including Collibra Protect, and actively supporting the Intelligent Data Experience - Access and Security (IDEAS) program from a technical perspective. You will be the primary expert for building and maintaining JDBC connections for the Data Catalog, coordinating complex issue resolution with vendor support, and partnering closely with our internal DevOps teams for infrastructure needs.
