• Keep the data catalog complete and current: onboard assets and domains, link technical metadata to business terms, maintain lineage and classification.
• Design data quality rules with business owners, implement checks with data engineers, build dashboards and run the issue and remediation process; at senior level, set up the whole data quality management cycle.
• Apply data classification, privacy, data sovereignty and residency requirements (e.g., GDPR): jurisdiction and access rules, retention, the onboarding of data products, and the evidence for regulators.
• Support data governance maturity assessments: interviews, analysis, gap lists; at senior level, lead them and turn findings into prioritized roadmaps.
• Work with data engineers and platform teams so that standards, classification, lineage and quality checks are implemented in catalogs and data platforms.
• Prepare governance metrics, reporting, training material and audit evidence; contribute to reusable assets and accelerators; at senior level, coach consultants and client data stewards.
