Purview Data Governance Consultant
Our Data & AI team is made up of curious, client-focused professionals who help organisations build trusted, governed, high-quality data solutions. We’re looking for a Purview Data Governance Consultant with strong data governance and data management experience (including data quality and MDM) and hands-on technical skills from a data analyst or data engineer background, with an appreciation of broader cloud architecture and networking.
If you’re passionate about helping organisations understand, trust, and govern their data—and you enjoy working at the intersection of governance, platforms, and delivery—we’d love to talk.
Come join us
As a member of Avanade’s Data & AI practice, you’ll work with clients to design, implement, and embed modern data governance capabilities across Microsoft Purview, cloud data platforms, and analytics ecosystems. You’ll play a hands-on role in helping organisations establish clear data ownership, classification, lineage, and policy enforcement — turning governance from theory into something that genuinely enables analytics and AI.
This role is ideal for consultants who are both governance-minded and technically capable, able to work credibly with data engineers, platform teams, and business stakeholders alike.
Together we do what matters.
What you’ll do
Design and implement data governance solutions using Microsoft Purview Data Governance, including cataloguing, classification, lineage, and domain-based governance models
Use governance to enable data value creation, discoverability, secure access, and responsible data use
Work with clients to define data ownership, stewardship, policies, and operating models aligned to business and regulatory needs
Configure and integrate Purview with Azure data platforms, Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Databricks, other data sources, and MDM tools, ensuring governance is embedded within delivery pipelines
Support the implementation and governance of Databricks Unity Catalog, aligning technical controls with organisational data governance objectives
Analyse data platforms and pipelines to assess metadata coverage, lineage, data quality signals, and policy enforcement
Collaborate closely with business and technical stakeholders to ensure governance and data quality are practical, usable, and automated wherever possible
Translate governance concepts into clear, actionable guidance for both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Help clients move from ad hoc or tool-led governance to sustainable, product-oriented, domain-aligned models
Contribute to the development of Avanade accelerators, patterns, and thought leadership in data governance and trust
