This person will turn written policy into enhanced controls that actually operate across our platforms, including Salesforce, AWS, and other collaboration tools. They'll set the rules for how we classify, retain, anonymize, and delete data. They'll also set guardrails for new data risks, including AI tools. The role will work closely with Legal, Risk, Operations, Engineering, and IT/Security.

Responsibilities

• Own the data classification policy and establish governance over the inventory of confidential and restricted data across systems, vendors, and data flows.

• Run privacy impact assessments for new products, systems, vendors, and major changes.
• Support successful completion of SOC 2 audits.
• Assist with third-party reviews to ensure proper alignment with privacy and data governance requirements.
• Lead the retention program, including retention schedules, legal holds, and secure disposal and media sanitization.
• Partner with Engineering to specify retention and deletion controls inside production systems, and confirm they work as designed.

• Hands-on experience building or significantly enhancing a privacy or data governance program, including data classification, data inventories, and retention schedules.
• Core knowledge and applicable experience with U.S. privacy and record-retention requirements relevant to lending. Examples include CCPA/CPRA, GLBA, ECOA/Reg B record retention, BSA/AML recordkeeping, and state data-breach laws.
• Understanding of de-identification, pseudonymization, and deletion methods, and the legal and technical tradeoffs among them.
• Experience testing controls or supporting audits (SOC 2, internal audit, or regulatory exams).
• Comfort working with technical teams: reading system configurations, writing clear requirements, and following remediation through ticketing tools such as Jira.
