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.
  • 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, adaptable to shifting priorities

MUST HAVE 

Proven experience designing, implementing, or improving business processes, workflows, or governance frameworks (Required – 4 years)
Proven experience creating documentation, guides, or training materials for technical and business audiences (Required – 4 years)
Proven experience partnering with cross-functional stakeholders to drive adoption of new processes or initiatives (Required – 4 years)
Proven experience independently identifying gaps and developing solutions without an established playbook (Required – 3 years)
Experience with data, information, or AI governance, compliance, or risk-related initiatives (Highly Desired – 2 years)
Experience working in higher education or another complex, decentralized institutional environment (Highly Desired – 2 years)
