Business Process & Governance Engineer

Role: Business Process & Governance Engineer (806588)

Location: Remote in US 

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 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.

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.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience in higher education or another complex, decentralized institutional environment
• Exposure to governance, compliance, or risk-related work (data, information, or AI)
  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.
