Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Data Governance & Quality Engineer to play a key role in shaping Agilent's modern data management landscape.

In this role, you will combine data governance, metadata management, and data quality expertise to ensure business-critical data assets are governed, discoverable, trusted, and ready to support operational, analytical, and AI-driven use cases. You will help establish and maintain governance processes for data assets within Microsoft Fabric and enterprise data catalog environments, while partnering with business stakeholders, data owners, architects, and analytics teams to improve the quality, usability, and transparency of commercial data.

This role is ideal for a professional who enjoys working at the intersection of business processes, technology, and data governance and who wants to help build the foundation for the next generation of analytics and AI capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

Data Governance & Metadata Management

  • Govern critical data assets by defining and maintaining metadata, business definitions, ownership, stewardship responsibilities, classifications, quality requirements, and certification criteria.
  • Manage enterprise data catalog content, business glossary entries, lineage documentation, and impact analysis to keep data assets discoverable, understandable, and trusted.
  • Partner with data owners and subject matter experts to establish governance standards, accountability models, and processes for semantic models, governed data products, and enterprise reporting assets.

Modern Data Platforms & Analytics

  • Support Agilent's adoption of Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, Snowflake, and modern data management capabilities, with a focus on governed, reusable, and business-ready data assets.
  • Use SQL, Snowflake, Power BI, and related tools to analyze data, validate governance controls, and support quality and metadata monitoring activities.
  • Collaborate with Data Architecture, Data Engineering, and Analytics teams to embed governance, catalog, semantic layer, and monitoring requirements into solution design and delivery.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
