We are currently supporting one of our key clients in the evaluation and early-stage deployment of OpenMetadata, an open-source data catalog and governance solution. To support this initiative, we are seeking a seasoned OpenMetadata Consultant to assess the platform, run targeted proof-of-concept scenarios, and deliver strategic recommendations for future adoption.

You’ll play a pivotal role in helping the client understand how OpenMetadata fits into their enterprise ecosystem. This includes:

1. Platform Evaluation

• Advise on interoperability with tools like Snowflake, DBT, Power BI, SAP, and others.

2. Use Case Definition & POC Delivery

• Collaborate with internal teams to identify and shape high-value proof-of-concept use cases - such as lineage tracking, metadata ingestion, or data quality monitoring.
• Set up and configure OpenMetadata to reflect real business scenarios.
• Showcase the POC results and evaluate their effectiveness in terms of usability, scalability, and business relevance.

3. Strategic Advisory & Roadmap Planning

• Summarize your findings in a clear and actionable recommendation report.
• Offer guidance on governance structure, integration strategies, and resource requirements for future phases.

• Practical experience working with OpenMetadata - from setup and configuration to advanced customization.
• Solid data engineering background with exposure to modern data tools such as DBT, Airflow, Snowflake, Spark.
• Expertise in metadata modeling, data lineage, and catalog structuring for both technical and business audiences.
• Strong grasp of data governance principles, including data quality and metadata management.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey technical findings to diverse stakeholders.
• Experience in large organizations or regulated environments is an asset.
• Fluent English is required; French or German is a plus.
• Work permit in Luxembourg is required.

If you’re a consultant who thrives at the intersection of data strategy, technical implementation, and business impact—this is a great opportunity to contribute to a meaningful transformation.
