The Opportunity

As a Data Governance Consultant, unlock your potential and embrace the chance to drive meaningful outcomes that'll elevate your career. We are seeking a Data Governance Consultant to support a client in the banking / financial services sector on a cloud migration program. This individual will be embedded directly within the client team and will play a key role in supporting data governance across a multi-wave migration from on-premises environments to Azure.

The consultant will help ensure that data governance considerations are incorporated into migration planning, implementation, go-live, and post-go-live enforcement. In addition to core data governance responsibilities, the ideal candidate should also be able to support broader advisory-type activities, including business analysis, migration readiness assessment, workshop facilitation, and cross-functional coordination. Your role will include, but isn't limited to:

• Support the definition and implementation of data governance frameworks, principles, policies, standards, and controls for a cloud migration program
• Help establish and refine data ownership, stewardship, and governance operating models
• Assess applications and data domains for cloud migration readiness, including governance, classification, quality, lineage, retention, privacy, and control implications
• Ensure data governance requirements are considered and embedded across migration planning, implementation, testing, go-live, and post-go-live operations
• Facilitate collaboration across business, risk, governance, and technology teams to support effective implementation and adoption of governance practices
• Support data classification, retention, usage, access, and control requirements in alignment with regulatory and enterprise standards
• Help identify and define data quality expectations, governance checkpoints, and monitoring requirements
• Contribute to metadata, catalog, and lineage-related requirements where relevant to migration activities
• Create governance-related deliverables as needed, including frameworks, assessments, process documentation, RACI models, standards, risk considerations, and executive/readout materials
• Gather and document business and stakeholder requirements; facilitate workshops; document current and future state processes; and translate business needs into governance and process requirements
• Support issue, risk, dependency, and action tracking across governance-related workstreams
• Provide practical advisory support to help teams make informed decisions in a regulated cloud migration environment

• Strong business analysis capabilities, including requirements gathering, workshop facilitation, documentation, and stakeholder engagement
