We're Ushering a New Era of Data Participation. Interested?

Collibrians are building a new way for all data users to have access to trustworthy data so they can make good data-driven decisions. We have modeled the Collibra platform after the best collaborative digital communities to be flexible, transparent, and human. We’ve replaced rigid rules with open collaboration. The result is data governance that’s second nature, from day one. If you’re interested in joining the team, look no further.

How you'll make an impact at Collibra:

The Payroll Manager will play an integral role on the Finance team at Collibra.
