Your Tasks

As Data Governance Lead (m/f/d), be a core member of the central Data & AI function, responsible for operationalizing MediaMarktSaturn's federated data governance framework across ~11 markets. Work closely with Global Data Domain Owners, regional teams, and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure data is trusted, compliant, and fit for purpose — at enterprise scale.

• Ownership and continuous evolution of the enterprise data governance framework, including policies, standards, data classification, and metadata management
• Coordination of the Data Domain Council and support of domain working groups across all global data domains
• Leadership of data quality governance through the definition of KPIs, escalation paths, and remediation workflows in collaboration with domain leads
• Maintenance and continuous enhancement of the enterprise data catalog and business glossary on GCP/BigQuery, leveraging tools such as Dataplex, DataHub, and Collibra
• Support of GDPR compliance activities, including data classification, PII discovery, and maintenance of Records of Processing Activities (RoPA)
• Close collaboration with Legal, Tax, IT Security, and Data Privacy teams to ensure alignment of governance frameworks with regulatory and risk requirements
• Monitoring and reporting of governance maturity across domains, with a focus on continuous improvement and progress reporting to the Data Board
• Functioning as the operational interface between the central Data & AI team and business-side domain leads, ensuring translation of governance requirements into actionable processes

Your Profile

• Several years in data governance, data management, or a related discipline in a complex, multi-market organization
• Strong command of data governance frameworks and best practices (e.g., DAMA-DMBOK); ability to adapt them pragmatically to organizational context
• Hands-on experience with data catalog and metadata tools — Dataplex, DataHub, Collibra, or similar
• Familiarity with GDPR and data privacy requirements, ideally in a retail or consumer context
• Proven ability to work in a federated model — influencing without direct authority across business and technology stakeholders
• Cloud data platform experience, ideally GCP/BigQuery
• Excellent communication skills in English; German is a strong plus
