Data Governance Specialist (m/f/d)

About the role

What data do we have? How sensitive and critical is it? Who owns it, and who knows it best? Who can access it, who actually does, and why? These fundamental questions are often surprisingly complex in practice. As part of our Data & AI Governance team, you'll help shape how the company governs data throughout its lifecycle, making it easier to discover, understand, and use responsibly. You'll play an active role in managing our data catalog and our service desk, helping teams navigate governance requirements and adopt practical solutions that balance innovation with effective risk management.
