• Define and evolve data ownership and stewardship models, including roles, responsibilities, and escalation paths.
• Develop governance patterns and reusable templates that can be applied across Fabric work spaces, domains, and pipelines.

• Architect and implement role‑based access control (RBAC), object‑level security, and data masking frameworks within Fabric environments.
• Ensure that data usage complies with organizational security standards, privacy laws, and regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, CCPA, or HIPAA.
• Partner with Information Security to align Fabric's governance model with enterprise identity management, encryption, and auditing practices.
• Lead periodic data access audits, and implement automated controls for least‑privilege access and data protection.

• Oversee enterprise‑level metadata management and lineage tracking to ensure visibility into data sources, transformations, and usage across Fabric and integrated systems.
• Define and maintain data quality standards and validation frameworks tied to governance policies.
• Promote the adoption of certified datasets, establishing trust and consistency for analytics and reporting consumers.
• Work with data stewards and domain owners to maintain accurate metadata, classifications, and ownership assignments.

• Build and maintain automation scripts, APIs, or CI/CD pipelines to deploy and manage governance configurations at scale.
• Integrate Microsoft Fabric with enterprise data governance, quality, and cataloging platforms to support a unified view of governed data assets.
• Develop dashboards and reporting mechanisms to monitor governance KPIs, including access compliance, lineage completeness, and policy coverage.
• Evaluate new Fabric governance capabilities and drive adoption of platform improvements to advance data governance maturity.

• Serve as a technical subject matter expert and trusted advisor for data governance implementation across all data domains.
• Mentor junior engineers and analysts in governance best practices and Fabric configuration principles.
• Collaborate with enterprise architects, data engineers, and analytics teams to ensure governance is embedded throughout the data lifecycle.
• Contribute to the data governance operating model, influencing process design, policy enforcement, and platform roadmap decisions.
