Job Description

Partners across the enterprise to build and strengthen governance capabilities across Data, Information, and emerging AI programs by translating ambiguous needs into practical processes, documentation, and tools.

We're growing our governance function across multiple programs—Data Governance, Information Governance, and AI Governance—each at a different point in its journey, some established and maturing, others being built from the ground up. This role offers the chance to do both: strengthen what's working and shape what's still being defined, moving between programs as priorities shift.

Required Skills

• Comfortable building structure from ambiguity and does not wait to be told what to do.
• Strong process design, documentation, and analytical skills.
• Skilled communicator who adapts across technical and executive audiences.
