This is why our people are the most important part of who we are. By empowering them to challenge the status quo, we know they will be the difference!

- Customer Obsession: Consistently provide exceptional experiences for our clients, patients, and colleagues by understanding their needs and exceeding their expectations.
- Embracing New Ideas: Continuously innovate by embracing emerging technology and fostering a culture of creativity and experimentation.
- Striving for Excellence: Execute at a high level by demonstrating our “Best in KLAS” Ensemble Difference Principles and consistently delivering outstanding results.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
The Solution Engineer - Data Governance is responsible for the day-to-day operation, configuration, and integration of the data governance and data security platforms owned by the Data Governance department. These include Microsoft Purview (Information Protection, Data Loss Prevention, Insider Risk Management, Data Map, and Unified Catalog), network DLP, user and entity behavior analytics, data security posture management, and the governance capabilities of Databricks Unity Catalog.
This role keeps these tools connected, healthy, and producing reliable results. It onboards new data sources and tools securely and with least privilege, and pulls data from these tools to produce the metrics, reports, and audit evidence that leadership and auditors rely on. Scripting is used to close gaps where native tool capability falls short; it supports the role but is not the main focus. The position works closely with the Data Governance analysts, Cybersecurity Engineering, IT Operations, Data Engineering, and vendors.
Essential Job Functions
- Administer and configure data governance and data security tools to approved standards, including sensitivity labels, DLP and insider risk policies, classification scans, and catalog settings, following change management.
- Onboard data sources to scanning and classification tools, including registering sources, configuring service principals, managed identities, integration runtimes, private connectivity, and secrets, and setting scan scope, schedules, and exclusions.
- Monitor tool health, including scan completion, connector status, policy deployment, and alert flow; troubleshoot and resolve failures, and manage vendor support cases through to resolution.
- Lead the technical review of new tool integrations and vendor deployments. Before change approval, document every account, permission, network change, and data flow the tool requires and validate least privilege. After deployment, verify the environment matches what was approved.
- Integrate governance and security tools with each other and with surrounding platforms (Entra ID, Azure, Databricks, Microsoft 365, SIEM, ITSM), using native connectors first and APIs where needed.
- Support tool evaluations and proofs of concept by turning use cases into test plans and success criteria, standing up test configurations, and documenting results.
- Extract data from tool consoles, audit logs, and APIs to produce recurring metrics such as classification coverage, DLP activity, insider risk alert volume and triage time, and catalog coverage; automate recurring reports and Power BI dashboards.
- Produce configuration and operating evidence for internal audit, regulatory, and client requests.
- Write and maintain scripts (PowerShell, Python, SQL, KQL) to close gaps in native tool functionality and automate repetitive administration.
- Maintain as-built documentation, configuration baselines, SOPs, and runbooks for each tool.
- Work with DLP, insider risk, and stewardship analysts to implement the policy and tuning changes they define.
- Track vendor product changes and roadmaps and assess their impact on current configurations.
EMPLOYMENT QUALIFICATIONS
- 3+ years administering or engineering enterprise security, compliance, or data platforms, preferably in Microsoft cloud environments.
- Experience in a healthcare or Revenue Cycle Management setting is a plus.
- Bachelors Degree or Equivalent Experience
- Preferred certification in: Microsoft Certified: Information Security Administrator Associate (SC-401), Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate (AZ-500), or Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate (AZ-104).
- Hands-on administration of Microsoft Purview (DLP, Information Protection, Insider Risk Management, Data Map, or Unified Catalog).
- Working knowledge of Azure identity and infrastructure: Entra ID app registrations and service principals, RBAC, managed identities, Key Vault, private endpoints, and Azure Policy.
- Familiarity with the Databricks Unity Catalog permissions model.
- Scripting in PowerShell (including Security & Compliance PowerShell and Microsoft Graph) and Python; working proficiency in SQL and KQL.
- Experience with Power BI or similar reporting tools.
- Experience working within formal change management (e.g., ServiceNow CAB).
- Familiarity with DSPM, DLP, and UEBA platforms; exposure to dedicated catalog platforms is a plus.
- Understanding of compliance requirements with regulations such as HIPAA, and strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities; familiarity with healthcare data such as EHR, ICD/CPT, and SNOMED/LOINC is a plus.
- Must be inquisitive and demonstrate openness to innovation including AI to explore better processes and ways to alleviate friction and improve patient and client experiences.
- This is a remote position; however, candidates must be willing and able to travel to and work onsite at client, temporary, or corporate office locations as business needs require.
- This position pays between $101,600 - 152,400 based on experience.

Mid Level Data Governance Lead Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level data governance lead job?
Position your experience around ownership, not just contribution. Highlight projects where you led a data governance workstream, defined metadata standards, or drove policy adoption across teams.

Which companies hire mid level data governance leads?

About 54% of mid level data governance lead openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the fact that governance work, policy documentation, and stakeholder collaboration translate well to distributed environments.

How do I move up to a mid level data governance lead role?
Growth from entry level into mid level comes from taking on progressively larger governance scopes over time. Focus on building depth in a data catalog tool, earning a relevant certification such as CDMP, and volunteering to own a governance domain or stewardship workstream. Demonstrating that you can drive adoption across business teams, not just document policies, is the clearest signal that you are ready to move up.
Which industries hire the most mid level data governance leads?
Mid Level data governance lead roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Insurance, and Banking & Financial Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026.
