Job Description

Partners across the enterprise to build and strengthen governance capabilities across data, information, and emerging AI programs - translating ambiguous needs into practical processes, documentation, and tools.

Why This Role Exists

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 programs are established and maturing, while others are being built from the ground up. This role offers the opportunity to do both: strengthen what's working and shape what's still being defined, moving between programs as priorities shift.

Job Summary

Partners across business, IT, privacy, security, and other units to build and strengthen governance capabilities across Data, Information, and AI Governance programs - from established initiatives to those still taking shape. Takes direction and runs with it, translating ambiguous or evolving needs into practical processes, documentation, and tools with minimal day-to-day oversight.

Position Duties
  • Design and implement governance processes, workflows, and documentation for programs across a range of maturity - from established to still-forming.
  • Translate business needs into practical frameworks, tools, and training materials.
  • Partner with stakeholders across technical and non-technical audiences to drive adoption.
  • Operate with significant autonomy - identify gaps, propose solutions, and execute without a predefined playbook.
  • Flex across programs as priorities shift, applying the same core skill set to different levels of ambiguity and structure.
Required Skills
  • Quickly grasps governance, policy, or regulatory requirements and translates them into clear processes, documentation, guides, and stakeholder conversations.
  • Comfortable building structure from ambiguity; doesn't wait to be told what to do.
  • Strong process design, documentation, and analytical skills.
  • Skilled communicator who adapts across technical and executive audiences.
  • Self-directed, results-oriented, and adaptable to shifting priorities.
Preferred Skills
  • Experience in higher education or another complex, decentralized institutional environment.
  • Exposure to governance, compliance, or risk-related work (data, information, or AI).
Qualifications

5-8 years of experience in business process, governance, compliance, IT business analysis, or a related field. Bachelor's degree preferred (any field); higher education experience as a student or employee is a plus. Equivalent professional experience will be considered in lieu of a degree.
