ROLE OVERVIEW<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our client is in the middle of one of the most significant chapters in its history. With a new merger now officially approved and integration underway, the Data Governance team is not standing still. They are actively redesigning how governance is done, shifting from a traditional approval model to a comprehensive, triage-based approach that connects privacy, policy, auditing, and data cataloging into a unified framework.<\/span><\/p>\n

This contract opportunity puts you directly alongside the Data Governance Manager as her closest collaborator. You will lead technical initiatives, guide junior team members, support a four-pillar governance transformation, build Power Automate workflows, and present to SVP-level stakeholders. If you thrive when priorities shift quickly and want a role with real organizational visibility, this one delivers.<\/span><\/p>\n
