What you will do

• Design and own the People Data Access & Governance program, including policies, access frameworks, classification standards, and access principles.
• Govern people data access from Workday source systems through Databricks and governed analytics products to HRBPs, people leaders, and AI-powered tools.
• Define role-based access, tiering, permissioning, masking, auditing, and standards for granting, modifying, and revoking access.
• Build guardrails for AI and large language model interfaces that query workforce data and make them safe to deploy at scale.
• Serve as the primary decision-maker for access requests and lead intake, escalation, exception handling, and periodic access review processes.
• Lead cross-functional working groups with HR, Legal, Privacy, Security, Data Engineering, Product, and Technology stakeholders.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in data governance, HR technology, people analytics, or technical program management, with ownership of a program or domain.
• Familiarity with cloud-based analytical environments and access-control implementation concepts; core expertise must be in governance design and policy rather than technical configuration.
• Understanding of how AI and LLM-based natural-language interfaces change access-control and data-governance requirements.
• Experience governing sensitive data across its lifecycle, including classification, permissioning, access reviews, audit trails, and exception handling; people or HR data experience is preferred within this requirement.
• Ability to operate with ownership and autonomy in ambiguity and build new governance programs through structured, iterative work.
• Strong cross-functional partnership skills across InfoSec, Legal, HR, Data Engineering, and Product.
• Ability to explain the ethical and organizational importance of people data governance to technical and non-technical audiences.
• HR domain fluency and a demonstrated track record in governance judgment, design thinking, and program ownership.

Nice to have

• Experience with GDPR, CCPA, or similar data privacy and compliance frameworks as applied to workforce data.
• Familiarity with AI/ML governance, including model training data, inference inputs, and agentic workflows.
• Experience working with or alongside People Analytics or HRBP teams and understanding workforce-data consumption for decision-making.

• Distributed work through hirify.global’s Cloud HQ approach.
• Base salary plus eligibility for equity awards based on experience, performance, and location.
