 * Support governance structures - help establish governance councils, define data classification and access policies, and document standards and processes.
 * Configure governance tooling - implement and drive adoption of cataloging, lineage, and data quality tooling (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, Collibra, Alation, Microsoft Purview).
 * Support compliance alignment - ensure governance work aligns with regulatory and privacy requirements and contributes to master data management efforts.

Travel may be required for this role, varying from 0 to 80% depending on business need and client requirements.
