An organization is evaluating Collibra as a strategic platform for enterprise Data Governance and Metadata Management, with an initial focus on data catalogue, technical lineage, data quality integration, and governance capabilities. They are looking for an experienced, hands-on Collibra practitioner to drive the functional POC, translate existing Data Governance capabilities into a potential Collibra setup, and help build the internal capability required for future adoption.
This is a fast-paced, delivery-oriented assignment requiring someone who can move comfortably between hands-on platform work, operational IT and Data Governance teams, architecture discussions, and senior management.
What you will do.
- Drive the Collibra POC:
- Structure and execute functional testing of key Collibra capabilities, including metadata management, technical lineage, catalogue, governance workflows, and data quality integration.
- Translate requirements into concrete test scenarios and rapidly turn findings into conclusions and recommendations.
- Explain the platform to different tester populations, guide their testing, and help drive adoption.
- Ensure the POC produces reusable insights and patterns for a potential industrialized setup.
- Translate and challenge the existing landscape:
- Rapidly understand existing capabilities through demos, documentation, and discussions with subject-matter experts.
- Separate the underlying business or functional requirement from the way it is implemented today.
- Map existing capabilities to Collibra and perform a pragmatic fit-gap analysis.
- Apply an "adopt native before rebuild" mindset: favor standard Collibra capabilities and actively challenge unnecessary customization, complexity, and legacy ways of working.
- Identify what should be adopted natively, configured, integrated, custom built, simplified, or retired.
- Shape the future setup:
- Translate POC and fit-gap findings into recommendations for a simple, scalable, and maintainable Collibra setup.
- Work with Data Governance, architecture, and engineering teams on integration, metadata ingestion, lineage, workflows, and operating model.
- Contribute to a pragmatic transition approach while minimizing unnecessary customization and long-term technical debt.
- Build internal capability:
- Transfer Collibra knowledge through hands-on collaboration, coaching, and remote training.
- Help new team members progressively take ownership of platform configuration, integration, troubleshooting, evolution, and maintenance.
- Contribute to establishing the foundations of a sustainable internal Collibra competence centre.
