About the Engagement:

Role Summary

Client is implementing Atlan as its enterprise data catalog and context layer, beginning with the Customer 360 domain. Core platform onboarding and several source connections are substantially complete. Atlan's contracted role is primarily advisory — Trimble requires a partner-side leader who provides the delivery capacity and technical execution to move the implementation from connected platforms to a usable, governed, and adopted catalog.

The Atlan Implementation Project Leader / Manager is the single accountable owner for that execution. This is a hands-on delivery leadership role, not a pure coordination role: the successful candidate runs the integrated plan and RAID discipline while remaining close enough to the platform to unblock lineage, connector, and RBAC issues personally. They will complete the remaining Phase 1 scope, prepare and execute the rollout, and establish a repeatable operating model that can be reused for future domains including Finance, Sales, and Marketing.

Business Outcomes This Role Is Accountable For

• Trust: Establish Atlan as the trusted enterprise entry point for finding, understanding, and using governed data.

• Unified foundation: Create a unified metadata and governance foundation for the Customer 360 initiative.

• Efficiency: Reduce manual stewardship effort through Context Agents and repeatable enrichment workflows.

• Access: Enable business users to discover certified assets while retaining broader visibility for designated roles.

• Scalability: Create a repeatable implementation pattern that can be lifted into future domains.

Key Responsibilities

Program & Delivery Leadership

• Own and maintain a single integrated delivery plan covering all remaining milestones, dependencies, and critical path.

• Run the RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) as the authoritative program record and drive weekly planning and status cadence.

• Serve as the named delivery owner bridging Atlan's advisory engagement and Trimble's in-tenant responsibilities — closing the execution gap rather than escalating it.

• Maintain a role matrix and escalation path to protect decision velocity when stakeholder availability is constrained.

• Provide clear, executive-ready status reporting to the Trimble DMO and program sponsors.

Technical Implementation

• Direct and validate connector configuration across Snowflake, Salesforce, Domo, dbt, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle, with Okta for SSO.

• Lead end-to-end lineage validation for Customer 360, including mapping resolution, defect triage, and documented test cases — the current highest-risk milestone.

• Troubleshoot platform, ingestion, and metadata issues hands-on, engaging Atlan advisory support where appropriate.

• Coordinate the Monte Carlo integration for data quality visibility as an adjacent capability.

Governance & Access Configuration

• Complete RBAC and persona modeling, configuration, and testing; secure and evidence formal approval.

• Balance business-user discovery of certified assets against broader visibility requirements for designated roles.

AI / Context Agents & Metadata Curation

• Configure Context Agent collections for automated metadata enrichment and tune output quality to an agreed acceptance standard.

• Publish the operating procedure so enrichment becomes a repeatable, low-touch workflow rather than a manual effort.

• Drive certification of the P1 bookings asset set, including ownership assignment and glossary linkage.

• Close metadata coverage gaps and report
