• Stakeholder Facilitation: Act as the primary SME in the Toronto office, interfacing directly with business leaders, data stewards, and tech teams to drive adoption and define data definitions.
• Hybrid Data Management: Oversee graph and metadata governance integrations across both legacy on-premise and modern cloud infrastructures.
• Query & Schema Optimization: Write, test, and tune complex Cypher queries and schema designs to ensure high performance at enterprise scale.

Requirements

• Seniority Experience: 6+ years of dedicated, practical experience implementing enterprise Data Governance frameworks and building production Knowledge Graphs.
• Core Tech Stack: Proven track record building and deploying production graphs using Neo4j and advanced Cypher query language.
• Location &Presence: Must be based in Toronto (or in Canada with full commitment to work on-site in Toronto full-time for the first 3 months minimum).
• Communication: Good communication and presentation skills, with a track record of driving consensus among non-technical business executives.
• Environment Expertise: Demonstrated background governing data across combined on-premise and cloud architectures.

Good to have:

• Domain Background: Prior experience in Banking or Financial Services (highly preferred).
• Additional Graph Methods: Hands-on experience with Python (NetworkX), RDF/SPARQL, or SQL Graph databases is a plus.
