Data Governance Enablement Analyst - Atlan Platform Specialist

About The Company: Randstad is the #1 HR Services Provider in the world, and we are looking for a Data Governance Enablement Analyst to join our Nearshore Center at Randstad Mexico. This is your chance to join a dynamic, collaborative, and fast-paced environment where your expertise will make a real impact!

Role Overview:

The Data Governance Enablement Analyst is a hands-on role responsible for configuring, scaling, and driving adoption of the enterprise data catalog and governance workflows using Atlan. This role acts as the connective tissue between business data stewards, analytics users, and data engineering teams—ensuring data is discoverable, trusted, well-defined, and governed at the point of use.

You will operationalize data governance by embedding it directly into daily workflows across analytics, BI, and data engineering—not by writing static policies, but by enabling metadata, lineage, ownership, quality context, and stewardship inside Atlan.

Key Responsibilities:

Atlan Platform Enablement & Configuration

• Configure & administer Atlan assets: datasets, tables, dashboards, metrics, & glossary terms

• Design & maintain business glossaries, taxonomies, domains, & critical data elements (CDEs)

• Configure ownership model: (E.g., Executive Owner, Business Owner, Technical Owner, Steward)

• Implement certifications, tags, classifications, & trust indicators to support analytics confidence

• Enable stewardship workflows, issue tracking, announcements, and policy attestations within Atlan

Metadata, Lineage & Discovery

• Coordinate automated metadata ingestion from modern data platforms (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, BI tools)

• Validate and curate end-to-end lineage across ingestion, transformation, and reporting layers

• Partner with data engineering to resolve lineage gaps and improve metadata completeness

• Support column-level context for sensitive, regulated, or business-critical data

Stewardship & Adoption Enablement

• Serve as a primary point of contact for business data stewards and analytics users

• Lead enablement sessions, office hours, and workshops to drive adoption of Atlan

• Translate business concepts into governed data assets and standardized definitions

• Support stewardship operating rhythms (reviews, certifications, issue triage)

Data Quality & Governance Context

• Attach data quality context, known issues, and remediation status to governed assets

• Partner with data quality teams to surface rules, monitors, and scorecards in Atlan

• Enable issue logging, tracking, and stewardship escalation workflows

Integration & Automation

• Use Atlan APIs & lightweight scripting to automate metadata enrichment and workflow actions

• Integrate Atlan with downstream systems (e.g., Jira, ServiceNow, BI tools, SSO/RBAC)

• Support governance-by-design patterns embedded into analytics and engineering workflows

Required Qualifications:

• 3 to 5 years of experience in data governance, data enablement, analytics enablement, or data operations

• Hands-on experience configuring or administering Atlan (or similar platforms such as Collibra, Alation, Informatica)

• Strong understanding of modern data stacks (cloud data warehouses/lakehouses, BI tools)

• Practical experience with business glossaries, metadata, lineage, and stewardship models

• Ability to work directly with both business and technical stakeholders

• Reports to: Data Governance Manager / Data Enablement Lead

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting Databricks, Snowflake, Power BI, SSRS, Tableau, or Looker

• Familiarity with data quality, privacy, or regulatory concepts (PII, PHI, NPI, HIPAA, GLBA, etc.)

• Exposure to APIs, SQL, Python, or metadata automation

• Experience supporting enterprise data governance frameworks (CDMC, DMBOK, internal standards)
