A Data Governance Analyst supports an organization's data governance program by monitoring data quality, documenting metadata, and helping enforce data standards, usually within an IT or data management team. The role requires hands-on data governance and data quality management work, along with SQL skills to query and validate data and experience with data cataloging tools like Collibra or Informatica. This is often a mid-level role that serves as a stepping stone to becoming a Data Governance Manager or Director.
