Assignment description

As a Data Steward for Data Engineering teams, you will be part of the CoDev Data Team and will define the data governance framework for the data that is owned by our client’s organisation. The data governance framework is based on a common approach defined by our engineering data hub and applied with a federated data operating model.

Within this department, you will work in close collaboration with the Data Architect, Engineering Managers and Product Owners with the objective to define the strategy around the data they own. You will also work together with Data Engineers and Data Users to perform data stewardship activities.

Within engineering (R&D), you will participate in the data governance forum that develops data standards at the tactical level and connects strategy to operations. You, and some members from the data governance forum, will lead the data steward network to share best practices regarding data quality management, data discoverability and observability.

The goals with the data governance framework include enabling:

• Decision making based on consistent, understandable, compliant, and trusted data
• Standard, repeatable processes for data creation and usage
• Common data standards across organisations & data products

You and your skills:

• Knowledge about the hub and spoke model, data governance, data management, data quality management (data profiling, data quality rules, quality monitoring and error handling), data discoverability and observability, data privacy and cybersecurity
• Experience from data analysis with different kinds of data types
• Strong communicator, who will collaborate with a diverse set of Stakeholders, and in a pedagogical way explain complex topics in a language that suits any audience
• The ability to see the big picture and focus on long-term goals and at the same time you are able to balance that with short term needs from their Data Users
• You have a Master Science degree in Engineering, or equivalent area, as well as fluent in English
