First insights
Are you a data governance professional who prefers hands-on implementation over strategy papers? Have you designed governance frameworks and brought them to life with clients, with GDPR, data security, and the EU AI Act always in mind? If this description resonates with you, then YOU are exactly who we are looking for!
That’s what it’s about
- Design and implement data governance frameworks and target operating models for our clients, tailored to their organization, data landscape, and maturity.
- Define data roles, responsibilities, and processes (e.g., data owners, data stewards, governance boards) and help clients embed them in their daily operations.
- Conduct workshops with client stakeholders, from business teams to IT and leadership, to assess governance maturity and agree on priorities.
- Translate regulatory requirements such as GDPR, the EU AI Act, and data security standards into practical policies, controls, and guidelines.
- Work closely with our data and cloud engineers to build governance into the technical setup, including data catalogs, data quality, lineage, and access management.
- Establish data quality and metadata management practices and define metrics to measure progress.
- Support clients in rolling out governance processes and tools, and drive adoption through training and change management.
- Contribute to MobiLab's data governance offering through knowledge sharing, reusable assets, and support in pre-sales activities.
This is you
At your core, you are a hands-on problem solver who turns governance concepts into processes that work in practice.
- 2–5 years of experience in a dedicated data governance role, with hands-on responsibility for implementing governance, not only defining strategy.
- Experience designing or implementing data governance frameworks and/or target operating models, including defining roles and processes.
- Solid knowledge of GDPR, data security, and data privacy requirements, and familiarity with the EU AI Act.
- Technical understanding of modern data platforms and of concepts such as metadata management, data lineage, data quality, and access control.
- Experience with data governance or data catalog tools such as Microsoft Purview, Collibra, Informatica, or Databricks Unity Catalog.
- You enjoy working with stakeholders at all levels and explain governance topics in a clear and practical way.
- You are structured and pragmatic, and you focus on solutions that work in real projects.
- You take ownership of your work and hold yourself to high-quality standards.
- You are fluent in English.
- Consulting experience, ideally in data or IT projects with corporate clients.
- German language skills.
- Knowledge of established frameworks such as DAMA-DMBOK, or a certification such as CDMP.
- Experience with Azure or Databricks environments.
Perks you’ll love:
- Hybrid work culture with flexibility between office and home
- Work remotely from anywhere in the EU for up to 6 weeks per year
- JobTicket for public transportation in Cologne
- Development support: certifications covered + €2,000 annual conference budget
- Childcare support and company pension plan for your long-term well-being
- Choose your preferred work setup: MacOS or Windows
- Access to leading AI tools: work with the tools that suit you best, including ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Cursor, and more
