Compliance Consultant - Data Governance, Security & Privacy Compliance
The Opportunity
As a Compliance Consultant on the Data Governance, Security and Privacy Compliance team, you will develop and implement broad, integrated compliance strategies relating to data governance, cybersecurity, and privacy compliance. You'll act as a liaison to other Compliance & Ethics Department teams, control functions and business partners regarding data governance, security, and privacy compliance activities, and will be part of a team of compliance professionals responsible for managing the compliance programs associated with data governance, cybersecurity and privacy.
The Team
The Data Governance, Security and Privacy Compliance team is part of the Financial Crimes & Fraud Prevention Compliance team, which sits within the Compliance & Ethics Department and is responsible for our fraud prevention; anti-money laundering and economic sanctions; anti-corruption; data governance, security and privacy; and elder financial exploitation compliance strategies and programs.
Working as an integrated team of subject matter experts, Financial Crimes & Fraud Prevention Compliance aligns various compliance efforts to manage financial crimes and fraud compliance risk. The team is organized according to the risks it monitors (anti-money laundering and economic sanctions; data governance, security and privacy; anti-corruption; elder financial exploitation and fraud), but integrating these various functions within the same team enables the Financial Crimes & Fraud Prevention Compliance team to effectively manage financial crime, fraud and privacy compliance risk across the organization. This is accomplished by greater and consistent coordination and communications with business lines and other control functions, development of an overall financial crimes and fraud risk assessment and risk appetite, data sharing and analytics across financial crimes, fraud and data privacy/security prevention activities and efficient work flow and case management activities.
The long-term vision of the Financial Crimes & Fraud Prevention Compliance team is to develop a program that owns a portfolio of financial crimes, fraud and data privacy/security-related compliance risks managed across common strategies, with shared resources, greater coordination within the team, and greater coordination, communication and consultation with our fellow Compliance & Ethics Department colleagues, control functions and business partners.
