What you'll be doing

The Data Mesh Enablement team helps our partners onboard, discover, access, govern, and responsibly use data products to support analytics, artificial intelligence, reporting, and enterprise-wide reuse. As a Consultant, Data Mesh Enablement & EDGE Onboarding, you'll support the adoption and day-to-day operation of EDGE as a reusable, governed enterprise data capability. You'll coordinate onboarding activities from initial intake through product registration, access enablement, and ongoing use, while working closely with business partners, Product Owners, Data Owners, Data Stewards, Enterprise Architecture, Data Governance, Information Security, platform engineering, and delivery teams. You'll also help improve metadata, catalogue, and self-service processes that strengthen discoverability, trust, and reuse across enterprise data assets. In this role, you'll contribute to a well-governed and efficient onboarding experience by supporting reporting, workflow improvements, and operational excellence across the EDGE ecosystem.

How you'll succeed

• Onboarding and intake coordination - Conduct intake assessments and exploratory discussions to understand business needs and guide teams through the appropriate onboarding, data access, ingestion, product registration, or enablement pathway. Coordinate activities, dependencies, stakeholder follow-ups, and status updates to support timely onboarding progress.
• Governance and product registration - Review data product registration requests for completeness, including business purpose, ownership, lineage, consumers, source awareness, metadata, and supporting documentation. Support the maintenance of enterprise inventory records and help ensure registrations align with data product and federated governance standards.
• Metadata and catalogue support - Validate metadata associated with data elements, tables, views, schemas, and registered data products. Support catalogue and dashboard operations through monitoring, reconciliation, issue triage, and process improvements that enhance data quality, discoverability, and trust.
• Self-service enablement - Develop and maintain onboarding guides, frequently asked questions, job aids, training materials, process maps, and other self-service resources. Turn recurring questions and support themes into clear documentation, workflow enhancements, and backlog opportunities.
• Access and consumer support - Guide teams through access and entitlement requirements and support standard access patterns, group templates, and request-routing processes. Help ensure onboarding and access information is captured in a controlled, traceable, and user-friendly way.
• Operational improvement and reporting - Maintain reporting that tracks onboarding activity, product registration, ownership, adoption, and outstanding actions. Identify opportunities to simplify manual work and improve repeatable processes using tools such as Jira, SharePoint, Power Automate, Excel, Structured Query Language (SQL), Python, and application programming interfaces (APIs).
