Are you passionate about turning data governance into tangible, measurable results? We are looking for a hands-on Data Governance Consultant who can design, implement, and embed sustainable governance frameworks within complex organizations.

• Configure and operationalize governance structures within a data catalog tool
• Collaborate closely with business, IT, and governance stakeholders to ensure alignment and adoption
• Deliver clear documentation and support a smooth transition into ongoing operations

• Strong understanding of governance roles such as Data Owner, Data Steward, and Governance Office

• Able to simplify complex topics and bring structure
• Strong communication skills across business, IT, and leadership levels
