DATA GOVERNANCE CONSULTANT WANTED
Our Data Governance Mission
The role of Data Governance in our service portfolio brings the best from technology and business consulting together.
On one hand, you need to be technically proficient enough to be able to understand the technical specifics of our solution (e.g. how to configure metadata connector, how to extract metrics and dimensions from a reporting tool using its API..) and go through with it. On the other hand, there are a lot of discussions with business users of the solution to help them acknowledge the value of our solution and in return understand what are their needs.
Data Governance brings the relevancy of tech consulting and practical business problem-solving together.
Chain Of Roles in Data Governance
Typically there’s a “chain of command” in every organization related to the DG.
Most of the work is done by data stewards – they are specialists focused on day-to-day business using tools such as Collibra to build and maintain data dictionaries, approve new business terms in the Business Glossary, or check the correctness of descriptions in the report catalog.
Then there’s the role of the data owner. This persona is responsible for approving access to data assets, guiding stewards about priorities, and steering the metadata lifecycle for their domain.
Above those is CTO/CDO who’s responsible for the overall DG strategy in the organization and putting the DG strategy into practice. There’s usually involvement of the board-level management in the form of the DG Steering committee to overcome cross-company issues.
There can be more roles and types of data governance but those mentioned above are present in every company.
