Data Governance Manager

We are looking for a Data Governance Manager to help evolve and mature Fastly’s data governance program. In this role, you will partner with stakeholders across the organization to identify our key data assets and promote good data stewardship, helping the company understand and maintain appropriate data protection, privacy, and handling measures. You will empower teams to incorporate data-focused security considerations, regulatory requirements, and customer obligations into their systems and workflows in straightforward, repeatable, auditable ways. 

This position reports to the Senior Director of Compliance within the Security organization. 

What You'll Do

• Build and evolve our enterprise-wide data governance program, spanning data lifecycle management in our customer-facing platform, as well as our internal systems and data stores
• Partner with stakeholders across the business to catalog key data assets and understand how this data traverses our systems, environments, and processes
• Centralize and harmonize data protection, privacy, retention, and handling requirements from Security, Compliance, Law, Finance, Engineering, and other departments into a cohesive data governance framework
• Drive implementation and management of operational aspects of the data governance program, including data protection impact assessments, data mappings, and data considerations in our product documentation
• Develop and publish self-service, playbook, and guidance material to help others more easily meet data governance considerations tied to their job responsibilities
• Facilitate completion of audit procedures and responses to customer inquiries pertaining to data governance and privacy topics

What We're Looking For

• 6+ years of relevant work experience in establishing, maintaining, and/or assessing data governance and privacy programs 
• Tenured experience supporting data governance programs or needs at a modern cloud service provider or similar organization
• Demonstrated experience building or supporting data governance programs from an early stage of maturity
• Ongoing awareness of industry and regulatory trends in data governance domains, including best practices and tools
• Proven ability to work with technical contacts and interpret technical concepts while establishing or executing data governance processes
• Demonstrated proficiency in prioritizing and completing multiple concurrent projects and tasks
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, both written and verbal

We value a variety of voices, so this is not a laundry list. It would be an added bonus if you have experience in ANY of these:

• Data privacy-focused certifications, CIPT in particular, strongly preferred
• Experience with Atlassian products (Confluence, Jira) for managing project work and maintaining process documentation
• Experience using GRC tools to maintain controls documentation mapped to relevant regulations, industry standards, or risk areas
