  • Design and enhance the process by which teams request and are granted approval for data access, balancing business agility with risk and compliance requirements.
  • Own the end-to-end daily operations of Experian's Privacy Framework for NA, ensuring consistent, compliant execution across all programs.

  • Manage and continuously improve the consumer-facing privacy portal, ensuring a seamless, compliant consumer experience and resolving operational or technical issues.
  • Direct the Privacy Monitoring program, including ongoing risk assessments, control testing, issue tracking, and remediation across NA.
  • Mentor and manage a team of data stewards and privacy professionals, setting goals, developing talent, and ensuring adequate coverage and succession planning.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Legal, Compliance, Security, IT, and business leaders to align data governance and privacy operations with regulatory requirements and business objectives.
  • Develop and report key metrics and dashboards (KPIs/KRIs) on data governance maturity, access approvals, consumer request turnaround, and privacy monitoring findings for executive stakeholders.

Qualifications

  • Demonstrated success building or scaling enterprise data governance programs, including data catalog, metadata management, and data lineage initiatives.

  • Experience designing or operating consumer rights request processes and consumer-facing privacy portals at scale.
  • Experience running a privacy monitoring or compliance testing program, including risk assessment, control design, and issue remediation.
  • Strong understanding of data access governance models, including approval workflows, role-based access, and data risk classification.
  • Experience leading and developing a team of data stewards, analysts, or privacy professionals, including performance management and talent development.
  • Strong program and change management skills, with the ability to drive adoption of new governance processes and platforms across a large, matrixed organization.
  • Experience shaping organizational strategy through financial, market, and performance analysis; building business cases and assessing decisions' P&L and long-term impact.
  • Proven ability to communicate complex concepts clearly to diverse audiences and cross-functional teams to encourage adoption of business intelligence.
  • Experience setting business intelligence strategy, standards, and KPIs; ensuring data quality and presenting insights to executive and board audiences.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
