We are seeking a seasoned Senior Data Governance Consultant with a wealth of experience and a comprehensive skill set in data governance to lead our technical efforts in response to an RFP. In order to establish a data governance framework for GRICS products, GRICS is seeking the assistance of a Senior Data Governance Advisor. This senior consultant will be responsible for the definition, planning, implementation, and operationalization of data governance, considering various laws, compliances, and stakeholder requirements. If you are looking to make a significant impact and lead data governance solutions that drive success, we want you on our team!


In order to establish a data governance framework for GRICS products, GRICS is seeking the assistance of a Senior Data Governance Advisor. This senior consultant will be responsible for the definition, planning, implementation and operationalization of data governance. In addition, the mandate will have to take into account various laws, compliances and requirements of GRICS stakeholders.

Surrounded by its partners, GRICS is actively participating in the Chantier d'Intelligence Numérique (CIN). This initiative, together with strong demand for its analytical applications, is prompting GRICS to enhance the quality of its data and metadata repositories.


The challenge is not only to bring together all existing data governance information in one place, but also to operationalize a governance framework that includes approval processes, standards for data and data protection, procedures to be followed, and the implementation of tools to increase the efficiency and consistency of a single data repository. This data repository will later offer the possibility of automating the deployment of analytical applications. Later, the content of this repository will be used by all partners to facilitate self-service development on the various development platforms offered by GRICS (API, analytics, web).


The Resource must be comfortable communicating, explaining and defending the strategies and directions they propose according to their discipline or mandate, as they may be required to communicate this information to various levels of management.


In particular, the Senior Data Governance Advisor is responsible for :

  • Establishing the data governance strategy for on-premise and cloud-based systems developed for our customers;

  • define standards for the storage and use of data in operational and analytical contexts, while respecting compliance, privacy and security policies;

The main activities of the Senior Data Governance Advisor include :

  • defining the standards surrounding the storage and exploitation of data in operational and analytical contexts, while respecting compliance, privacy and security policies advising GRICS in the establishment of a data-driven culture;

  • lead workshops with managers and the legal team to ensure alignment with current and future regulations, and to meet GRICS' responsibilities and obligations to its stakeholders;

  • draft terms of reference, policies, work plans, data management processes, data governance transformation framework and change management strategy;

  • collaborate on the roadmap for the implementation of data governance within the company;

  • advise on the integration of data lineage into sound data governance (DB, warehouse, pipeline, Data Vault, dimensional, tabular, ML, reports, API);

  • participate in the selection of the Data Catalog tool best suited to the current needs of the company and its partners;

  • implement a corporate taxonomy and ontology;

  • suggest mechanisms to ensure data compliance;

  • develop process improvements and a data community to strengthen overall data quality;
