• Schedule and hold meetings with business stakeholders related to stewardship assignments, glossary reviews, metadata decisions, and governance approvals.

• Capture, validate, and maintain business, technical, operational, and governance metadata through catalog integrations, metadata harvesting, manual curation, stakeholder reviews, and ongoing metadata quality checks.
• Support lineage documentation by mapping data movement from source systems through transformations, reports, dashboards, analytical models, and downstream data products to improve impact analysis, auditability, and trust.
• Create requirements specification documents, process flow diagrams, and business process models for data catalog, metadata, glossary, lineage, and stewardship initiatives.

1. Data Quality

• Collaborate with data stewards and business stakeholders to define data quality rules, monitor quality results, document root causes, track remediation plans, and escalate recurring or high-impact data quality issues.
• Create SQL queries, reports, and dashboards to support data quality monitoring, guest data inquiries, privacy escalations, and stewardship KPI reporting.
• Locate, define, and execute process improvement opportunities that strengthen metadata quality, data quality controls, issue resolution, and stakeholder accountability.

• Assist with AI governance platform implementation and monitoring, including tools such as Microsoft Purview, Collibra AI Governance, OneTrust AI Governance, and Databricks Unity Catalog.
• Document and govern AI use cases, datasets, and prepare audit-ready evidence for the AI lifecycle.
• Execute data subject requests and guest research escalation requests.
• Enhance and implement processes that support privacy escalations.
