• Design, implement, and optimize automated data discovery, classification, tagging, and metadata capture capabilities across structured and unstructured data environments.
• Embed encryption, data protection, monitoring, and secure configuration controls into databases, data lakes, cloud platforms, and file repositories.
• Implement and support role-based and attribute-based access controls, periodic access reviews, and continuous monitoring of data usage and anomalous access patterns.
• Engineer and enforce secure data transfer, DLP, and egress monitoring capabilities to ensure protected internal and external data sharing.
• Configure and operationalize automated data retention, archival, legal hold, and secure destruction mechanisms aligned to enterprise retention schedules.
• Support implementation and integration of enterprise data catalog, metadata management, and data lineage capabilities to improve visibility and inventory accuracy.
• Develop technical telemetry, dashboards, and metrics to monitor data governance effectiveness and support audit and regulatory readiness.
• Partner closely with Data Engineering, Cybersecurity, Cloud, Architecture, Privacy, Legal, and business stakeholders to operationalize governance controls.
• Rapidly build, mature, and scale technical data governance capabilities in a fast-paced, transformation-focused environment.

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Cybersecurity, Data Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred).
• 7+ years of experience in data governance, data security, or data engineering roles.
• Strong hands‑on experience implementing data discovery and classification solutions.
• Experience with data protection technologies (encryption, DLP, access governance).
• Experience integrating governance controls across cloud and on‑prem environments.
• Experience working with data catalog or metadata management platforms.
• Strong understanding of enterprise data lifecycle control points.
• Demonstrated ability to operate in fast‑paced, build‑focused environments.
• Strong scripting or automation experience (Python, Power Shell, SQL preferred).
• Excellent analytical, technical, and problem‑solving skills.
