About the Role

Are you a curious builder who thrives in a fast-moving, data-driven execution role, curious about how AI can turn quality data into real, operational trust?

Veeam's business runs on data flowing from four source systems, v-Power for Sales, Marketo for Marketing, NetSuite for Finance, and Workday for HR, through a governed Databricks Lakehouse to certified outputs consumed by Tableau dashboards and AI agents.

The Senior Director, AI-Ready Data Governance has authored the strategy for how this gets governed: a federated, pragmatic model, central standards, distributed ownership, sequenced by outcome so scope is committed on evidence rather than ambition.

Continuous, agent-driven scoring keeps watching a certified object's quality on an ongoing basis, well past the moment of sign-off. This is a builder and execution role for a deep subject matter expert, with full autonomy to move fast and deliver results.

You will lead highly complex, high-visibility initiatives, shape the approach to problems that arrive ambiguous, and influence organizational direction through the standards you set. The strategy, mission, and vision are set.

The job is to run Databricks Unity Catalog as the technical backbone and Atlan as the business-facing catalog on top of it, build the certified Bronze-to-Silver-to-Gold pipeline domain by doma
