Business Process & Governance Engineer - Remote

Job Description

Job Description

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.

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, 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.
