  • Assist with research, testing, and deployment of new AI functionality.
  • Maintain data inventories, Records of Processing Activities (ROPAs), classification, retention, and lifecycle documentation.
  • Advise stakeholders on appropriate collection, use, sharing, retention, and protection of data.

Monitoring & Continuous Improvement

  • Manage the monthly cybersecurity awareness training program and support other training activities.
  • Perform regular audits of user access, permissions, and IT assets.
  • Conduct periodic compliance reviews and governance assessments of systems and processes; track corrective actions to closure.
  • Partner with Infrastructure, Security, Legal, People Team, and Procurement to embed governance requirements early in technology projects.

Qualifications

Required

  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent experience, in governance, compliance, risk management, privacy, information security, or business operations.
  • 3–5 years of progressively responsible experience in governance, compliance, risk management, privacy, procurement, internal audit, information security, or related functions.
  • Experience supporting compliance audits, vendor risk assessments, or regulatory programs, including reviewing contracts and vendor documentation.

  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
