  • Facilitate cross-functional working groups and ensure consistent progress across governance workstreams.
  • Communicate program status, risks, dependencies, and outcomes to senior leadership.

  • 5+ years of relevant professional experience, preferably within a fast-growing technology company, top-tier strategy or management consulting firm, or equivalent environment.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing capabilities, particularly when working with Engineering and Legal teams.
  • Experience with data governance initiatives, including data tagging, classification, and ownership.
  • Experience coordinating access management initiatives across multiple functions.
  • Experience reviewing access to sensitive data, identifying risks, and driving remediation efforts.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage programs end-to-end, including sprint facilitation, dependency mapping, progress reporting, and cross-functional alignment.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills, with the ability to simplify complex information for technical and executive audiences.
  • Strong self-management skills with the ability to identify, prioritize, and execute high-impact opportunities.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience interpreting and operationalizing regulatory requirements within financial services or payments environments.
  • Experience with AI governance best practices and established governance frameworks.
  • Experience translating privacy and AI regulations into actionable requirements and controls.
  • Relevant privacy or AI governance certifications, such as CIPP or AIGP.
  • Familiarity with identity and access management platforms such as Okta.
  • Familiarity with modern data platforms such as Databricks.
  • Experience within technology, financial services, payments, or other high-growth environments.
