Who we are

Hi! We’re ambiscale – we design and deliver modern digital solutions for clients across Poland, Europe, and the US.

We work with brands such as Żabka, Biedronka, Brand24, and the University of California (Berkeley), while also supporting local initiatives and non-profit organizations.

We work in partnership, think holistically, and value quality, purpose, and responsibility in system design. We care about data governance truly supporting teams in their everyday work, not becoming a formality.

Your responsibilities

• creating, maintaining, and developing business metadata in the data catalog (e.g. Collibra, Informatica, Alation)
• defining and organizing business terms and definitions, data usage context, governance policies and rules
• modeling data assets and data products on a conceptual and logical level
• working closely with Data Owners, Data Stewards, and data users: interviews, workshops, requirements gathering, and data onboarding into governance frameworks
• defining and documenting data ownership, roles and responsibilities, data usage and stewardship rules
• supporting data quality initiatives from a business perspective: defining data quality rules and KPIs, identifying and prioritizing data issues, and supporting remediation with technical teams
• enabling and supporting users in effective use of data governance tools: business glossary, lineage, data quality rules, and governance roles and processes
• translating regulatory and industry requirements (e.g. GDPR, AI Act, DORA) into practical governance processes, metadata structures, and configuration guidelines
• supporting data governance adoption by helping users understand not only what to do, but why it matters

We’re looking for someone who

• has experience working in data governance, data quality, metadata, or related roles
• has worked across different industries and organizational contexts
• understands: data architecture concepts, metadata types, data lifecycle and governance operating models
• can model data conceptually and logically, without going into engineering details
• is comfortable training users and running workshops
• can explain complex governance and regulatory topics in a clear, practical way
• understands how data governance tools are used in practice by business users
• communicates confidently and transparently in Polish and English
• naturally acts as a bridge between business, governance, and technical teams

What we offer

• a clear opportunity to deepen expertise in data governance and metadata management within real, large-scale production environments
• salary in the range of 12 000 – 15 000 PLN net (B2B)
• 100% remote work setup, providing full flexibility to work from anywhere in Poland
• participation in projects for well-known, international brands
• hands-on work with real, large-scale production environments
• autonomy within the role and clearly defined expectations
• collaboration with an experienced team of experts (Data, Dev, Cybersecurity, SEO, AI)
• an environment where quality and thoughtful architecture truly matter
• a highly transparent, collaborative environment built on trust and mutual respect

This role is primarily suited for a mid-level data governance specialist with strong communication skills.

We also welcome senior data professionals who want to expand their experience into data governance, metadata management, and regulatory-driven data practices.
