You are capable of translating business requirements into practical governance standards and operational processes and have hands-on experience with SQL or similar database querying tools. Your communication in English is clear and confident, enabling effective collaboration with both business and technical stakeholders. A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is essential.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with reporting and visualization tools such as Power BI or Tableau.

What You Can Expect

This role offers a long-term engagement (12+ months) on a strategic Data Governance initiative within the financial services sector, with a remote working setup within the EU, providing flexibility and opportunities for cross-border collaboration.
