- Apply ontology and semantic modeling concepts to establish business definitions, relationships, and contextual understanding of enterprise data.
- Translate data governance strategies into actionable implementation roadmaps, milestones, and measurable business outcomes.
- Establish KPIs and success metrics to demonstrate the business value, adoption, and effectiveness of data governance programs.
- Lead and mentor Data Stewards, establishing stewardship workflows, accountability, governance standards, and operating procedures.
- Collaborate with Data Engineering, Architecture, Analytics, Compliance, and business stakeholders to drive governance adoption.
- Assess future-state data governance capabilities and support potential platform transitions or modernization initiatives.
Required Qualifications
- Proven experience leading and executing Atlan implementations, beyond basic tool usage or administration.
- Strong hands-on experience implementing Databricks Unity Catalog and its enterprise data governance capabilities.
- Practical experience with Ontology, semantic modeling, business taxonomies, and enterprise data relationships.
- Demonstrated expertise in data cataloging, data lineage, business glossary development, metadata management, and data stewardship.
- Experience establishing and managing enterprise data governance programs with measurable business outcomes.
- Proven ability to translate governance objectives into actionable deliverables, KPIs, and demonstrable program value.
- Experience leading Data Stewards or cross-functional data governance teams.
- Strong stakeholder management, communication, and execution leadership skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services, or insurance.
- Experience evaluating enterprise data catalog and governance platforms or supporting platform migrations.
- Familiarity with modern data platforms, cloud data architectures, and enterprise data management practices.
