Hiring: Data Governance SME (Alation) | Houston, TX (Hybrid)

Are you an Alation power user who knows that data governance is about more than just documentation—it's about driving real business value?

We are looking for a Data Governance Subject Matter Expert to lead a high-priority Alation implementation for a major client in Houston. This isn't just a "maintain the status quo" role; we need a strategist who can build a world-class data culture from the ground up.

The Setup:

• Location: Houston, TX (3 days on-site / 2 days remote).
• The Tech: Deep focus on the Alation Data Intelligence Platform
• The Mission: Turn raw metadata into a governed, searchable, and trusted enterprise asset.

What You'll Do:

• Lead the Platform: Serve as the technical and strategic lead for Alation, managing everything from metadata ingestion to lineage.
• Build the Blueprint: Design data stewardship programs and business glossaries that people actually use
• Be the Expert: Bridge the gap between IT and Business, showing stakeholders how governed data leads to faster, better decisions.
• Drive Adoption: Conduct workshops and training to ensure Alation becomes the "heart" of the data organization.

What You Bring:

• Proven Alation Experience: You've been in the trenches with Alation for 3+ years and know its capabilities inside and out.
• Governance DNA: You understand DAMA principles and how to apply them to modern cloud environments (Snowflake, Databricks, etc.).
• Houston Presence: You are local to or willing to commute to the Houston area for 3 days of on-site collaboration per week.
• Communication Skills: You can explain complex data lineage to a C-suite executive just as easily as you can to a Data Engineer.
