Metadata Management Consultant

In this role, you’ll be part of the DEA team, partnering across business and technology communities to make our Alation data catalog and Snowflake-based data ecosystem easier to navigate, more consistent, and more reliable. You’ll lead curation for key domains, enable stewardship at scale, and help shape where automation removes friction—working closely with a dedicated engineering/automation team to deliver improvements.

This is a role for someone who cares about making things better: clearer definitions, smoother workflows, stronger standards, an engaged organization, and real adoption.

What You’ll Do

Drive domain curation and metadata quality

• Lead curation for assigned domains to ensure the business glossary, key datasets, and lineage are accurate, complete, and aligned to governance standards

• Apply consistent curation methods to keep definitions, ownership, and critical metadata current as the environment evolves

Strengthen the catalog experience

• Configure and refine catalog assets such as term hierarchies, classifications, and policies, and recommend structural improvements to make the catalog easier to use and more intuitive

• Help stakeholders find the “right data” faster by improving clarity, context, and metadata completeness

Enable stewardship and scale adoption

• Create and deliver steward training, and develop practical SOPs and playbooks that make governance easier to execute and sustain

• Consolidate curation metrics, track progress, and help guide backlog grooming with domain stewards to focus effort where it matters most

Accelerate outcomes with automation (without needing to code)

• Identify recurring pain points and help shape automation opportunities (e.g., bulk onboarding, lineage harvesting, metadata quality checks)

• Partner with a dedicated automation/engineering team—translating needs into clear requirements and helping validate outcomes—so improvements are scalable and sustainable

Operate effectively across teams

• Build alignment across a matrixed organization by being a trusted partner to data owners, stewards, analysts, engineers, and product teams

• Bring structure to ambiguity: translate business language into metadata that is consistent, searchable, and reusable

• Occasional collaboration across global hours or minimal travel may be needed depending on business needs.

Technology & Environment
You’ll work in a modern enterprise data environment, including:

• Alation for data cataloging, business glossary, and stewardship workflows

• Snowflake as a core analytics and data platform

• Metadata automation patterns, lineage approaches, and governance standards

• Light use of SQL concepts to understand datasets, validate definitions, and communicate effectively with technical teams

• Emerging AI‑assisted workflows that improve metadata discovery, stewardship efficiency, and catalog usability (with the right human oversight)

What We're Looking For

• You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering, or a related field.

• You have at least 4 to 8 years of experience in metadata management, data governance, or information management, with hands-on expertise in metadata repositories and catalog tools.

• You have strong knowledge of metadata concepts, taxonomies, and lineage, along with proficiency in metadata tools. You are able to enforce standards and have a solid understanding of data privacy, retention, and classification requirements. You also possess excellent communication and project leadership skills.

• You have certification or training in metadata management, data governance, or information management frameworks such as Data Management Association (DAMA) or Data Management Capability Assessment Model (DCAM).

• You have a consultative mindset and can listen, synthesize information, and propose practical next steps.

• You are comfortable working across both business and technical teams, building trust and driving collaboration.

• You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to translate ambiguous business concepts into clear and structured metadata.

• You have an interest in automation and scaling solutions, and can effectively collaborate with technical teams to drive outcomes, even without hands-on development experience.

• You have a “builder” mindset and are motivated by progress, adoption, and making data governance part of day-to-day operations.

• You are amenable to report onsite 2x a week in BGC, Taguig City.

• You are willing to work on a mid-shift schedule
