Job Description

Responsibilities:

  • Drive the implementation, deployment, and Group-wide rollout of the Enterprise Data Catalogue across a complex, heterogeneous system landscape, driving adoption across business and IT teams.
  • Own the catalogue in operation: maintain, administer, and continuously improve it once live, ensuring data remains accurate, complete, and up to date.
  • Design and configure metadata ingestion, data classification, and data lineage across multiple data domains and source systems.
  • Lead the catalogue as a cross-functional initiative spanning all Group divisions, coordinating stakeholders toward a shared outcome.
  • Define and run the operating model for the catalogue - onboarding new domains and sources, managing releases and upgrades, and monitoring usage and data quality over time.
  • Proactively propose improvements to catalogue structure, governance processes, and adoption strategy.
  • Support the definition of data standards and contribute to the evolution of the global data architecture.
  • Document and manage system-agnostic data definitions across multiple data domains.
  • Create and maintain conceptual and logical data models following corporate templates, including LeanIX modelling and architectural documentation.
  • Collaborate closely with Data Domain Architects and Business Representatives to ensure consistency and quality.
  • Support the coordination and implementation of data governance initiatives and frameworks.

Competencies:

  • A degree in Information Technology, Business Informatics, Data Management, or a related field.
  • At least 5+ years of experience in data architecture or data governance, including hands-on implementation and operation of a data catalogue (e.g. Collibra, Alation, Atlan, Microsoft Purview, OpenMetadata, or DataHub).
  • Proven experience managing complex, cross-functional projects across multiple divisions and stakeholder groups.
  • Proven experience deploying, integrating, and running tooling in a complex, multi-source enterprise environment.
  • Solid understanding of metadata management, data classification, and data lineage.
  • Knowledge of data modelling techniques (conceptual, logical, physical) and data governance principles.
  • A proactive, proposal-driven mindset, with proven experience of identifying gaps and driving improvements through to adoption.
  • Strong stakeholder management and the ability to drive and sustain adoption across diverse business and IT teams.
  • Knowledge of the SAP data model, knowledge graphs, or graph-based metadata models is a plus.
  • Familiarity with LeanIX is preferred, or a strong willingness to learn.
  • Broad knowledge of database systems (SQL and NoSQL) is a plus.
  • Experience in manufacturing, industrial, or heavy equipment environments is a strong advantage.
  • Fluent English required; German and French are a plus.
  • Readiness for occasional travel.
