I would then implement a workflow that routes low-risk standard requests to pre-approved self-service paths while escalating sensitive or novel uses to Legal, Privacy, Security, and data owners. Finally, I would track turnaround time, repeat request themes, approval rates, and exceptions to continuously improve the process. Describe how you would translate a privacy obligation into an enforceable technical control. I would first clarify the legal requirement, the relevant data elements, processing purpose, retention expectations, and contractual limitations. With Security and Engineering, I would map those requirements to controls such as role- or attribute-based access, tokenization, masking, row-level policies, purpose-based entitlements, or audit logging. I would document the decision and validate the control through testing and periodic review. What metrics would you use to measure the maturity and adoption of a data-governance program? I would measure catalog coverage, ownership assignment, classification completeness, lineage coverage, policy exception volume, access-request turnaround time, self-service resolution rate, and adoption of approved datasets or use cases. I would also report risk-oriented metrics, including overdue remediation items and access-control review completion. These measures balance operational efficiency with risk reduction. How would you handle a conflict between a product team seeking rapid access to data and a privacy team identifying material risk? I would make the decision criteria transparent by clarifying the intended use, data sensitivity, legal basis, customer commitments, and available mitigations. Rather than offering only a yes-or-no outcome, I would propose a safe path forward, such as de-identified data, narrower access, a limited pilot, or additional controls. If risk remains unacceptable, I would document the rationale and escalate through the agreed governance process. What experience with data catalogs and cloud data platforms would be most relevant in this role? The most relevant experience includes configuring catalog metadata, business glossaries, ownership workflows, classification rules, and lineage integrations in tools such as Collibra, Alation, Atlan, or DataGalaxy. On platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, or GCP, I would apply that governance model through access policies, tagging, data discovery, auditability, and collaboration with platform engineering. The objective is to make trusted data easy to find and safe to use. Opportunity details ## About this role.

You will hone your ability to turn complex legal requirements into business enablers and present risk metrics directly to executive-level audiences. ### Things You’ll Do * Build the “Data Front Door”: Design and manage a centralized intake and triage process for custom data access requests, novel data questions, and complex derivative work inquiries. * Curate the Data Marketplace: Establish a centralized Use Case Repository and Data Marketplace detailing pre-approved data uses, restrictions, and licensing parameters across distinct datasets. * Automate Metadata & Classification: Partner with engineering and security teams to implement automated data classification, lineage tracking, and metadata harvesting. * Translate Policy into Technical Controls: Collaborate with InfoSec to operationalize legal requirements into enforced technical access controls (RBAC/ABAC) and row/column-level security protocols. * Drive Governance Adoption: Measure program success through adoption KPIs, request turnaround times, and governance maturity metrics, delivering self-service documentation and onboarding across the org. ### What We’re Looking For On Your Resume * 8+ years of experience in privacy, data governance, data security, data operations, or information architecture within a high-growth technology, SaaS, or data-intensive organization. * Deep understanding of privacy and security frameworks and ability to communicate contractual rights into practical guidance for various teams. * Direct experience setting up, configuring, or administering an enterprise data governance framework including the use of catalog tools (e.g., Collibra, Alation, DataGalaxy, Atlan). * Technical aptitude with cloud data ecosystems (e.g. Snowflake, Databricks, AWS/GCP), SQL, and data security mechanisms (e.g. hashing, tokenization, anonymization etc.). * Demonstrated ability to create business-friendly, self-service workflows that accelerate R&D and AI/ML initiatives while ensuring compliance with laws and contractual requirements and adherence to security frameworks. * Preferred certifications, examples include: IAPP: CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPM, or CIPT * ISACA: CISM, CRISC, or CISA * Data Governance: IGP or CDMP ### What You Should Know About This Team * Enablement Over Gatekeeping: We view governance as a business driver. Our goal is to make doing the right thing with data the easiest path for our various teams across the business. * Cross-Functional Influence: You will sit at the crossroads of Legal, Security, Engineering and Product teams, serving as the connective tissue that translates legal policies into automated technical realities. * Built for Scale: As Qualtrics expands its AI and data capabilities, you will build the foundational governance frameworks that ensure our growth remains safe, ethical, and fully compliant. ### Our Team’s Favorite Perks and Benefits * Team cohesion is deeply important to us – we have frequent office events and regular team activities * We take pride in our office design aimed at fostering creativity, from our mountain views to an open and collaborative workspace. * 30 paid days off – 15 Vacation Days + 5 Personal Days + 10 Holiday Closures (additional after a year) + 3 company shut down days the first week of January * On top of standard benefits package (medical employees and their families, dental, vision, life insurance, etc) we provide free lunches every work day, snacks, and drinks The Qualtrics Hybrid Work Model: Our hybrid work model is elegantly simple: we all gather in the office three days a week; Mondays and Thursdays, plus one day selected by your organizational leader.
