The primary purpose of the job is to execute and enforce established data governance processes that relate to tracking additions and changes to the objects under governance. This scope is currently limited to attributes, i.e. data items, stored in our data warehouse. Users frequently request that attributes be added, and these attributes must be properly named and their lineage tracked from source systems through different stages in the data warehouse.

Data governance needs to communicate frequently with users and developers, be knowledgeable about many aspects of our data warehouse and contributing systems, and be able to recognize governance issues, which are cases where standards should be applied. No knowledge of any specific system is required, but experience with many systems, especially systems joined together by ETL and database connections, will help enormously.
