• You understand data-governance requirements including access controls, Microsoft Purview data-loss prevention, metadata, lineage and data quality, with Okta-based access management experience or strong familiarity
• You have experience integrating legacy and/or on-premises sources into cloud data platforms and turning trusted data into reusable data products for reporting, APIs, analytics or AI; asset-management / investment-management experience is advantageous.
