The Role:
As a Technical Program Manager within the Enterprise Data Governance team, you will drive strategic execution across our core data governance processes. Your primary focus is to protect member privacy safeguarding personal information through secure handling, processing, and storage to ensure trust, enforce compliance, and mitigate data exposure risks. You will bridge the gap between corporate data governance policy and operational engineering, leading high-visibility technical programs that secure, classify, and institutionalize data controls across key data platforms.
As a leader, you will partner with engineering, the CIO organization, Legal, Privacy Compliance, and broader stakeholders to shield enterprise data frameworks while accelerating feature delivery.
What you’ll do:
- Own the end-to-end strategy, roadmap, and execution of complex, multi-platform data privacy and data protection initiatives, driving the Privacy Rights Management (PRM) program as a primary priority.
- Partner with engineering and platform teams to translate abstract data governance and privacy policies into actionable technical execution. Own the requirements lifecycle by authoring comprehensive PRDs, defining functional data controls, and ensuring engineering teams have the clear technical specifications needed for deployment.
- Operationalize privacy lifecycles from intake through fulfillment, including the development of automated tools, management of Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), and establishing governance SOPs for regulatory change management, data onboarding/offboarding, operational metrics, and control validation.
- Operationalize the First Line of Defense (1LOD) ownership model to ensure compliance with evolving U.S. state, international, and SMB privacy obligations, ensuring governance frameworks are scalable and robust.
- Manage the governance standards for both affiliate and non-affiliate data sharing, ensuring full alignment with privacy standards and internal policies. Act as a strategic contributor to core governance pillars, shaping frameworks for Metadata, Data Lineage, Data Retention, and Data Quality.
- Own key metrics and controls to track and provide actionable insights to drive continuous improvement. Propose scalable, incremental counter-proposals to keep the business agile while overseeing asset-level metadata, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) blueprints, and operational egress/ingress integration for data platforms and enterprise SaaS applications.
- Collaborate with federated teams to institutionalize ownership matrices, translate complex regulatory mandates into actionable product requirements. Maintain focus on strategic priorities and outcome-driven execution when navigating ambiguous problems, ensuring clear communication of program status, risks, and mitigation plans to executive leadership.
What you’ll need:
- Bachelor’s degree or higher with practical experience in a technical field.
- Experience
- 9+ years of experience in technical (software, data, engineering) program or Product management.
- Proven track record of driving results across large-scale, enterprise-level programs through cross-functional collaboration.
- Deep expertise in scaling data governance, data privacy, or security risk programs within highly regulated environments (FinTech, Banking, or Enterprise SaaS).
- Strong hands-on experience with cloud data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Postgres, CockroachDB)
- Architectural understanding of data classification standards, API egress patterns, and core data technologies (Python, SQL, Airflow).
- Experience designing AI-driven workflows, LLM applications, or intelligent agents to automate manual governance controls and compliance verification.
- Comfort leading through influence in a highly matrixed, federated model.
- Experience influencing stakeholders and executive leadership through strong analytical skills and clear written and verbal communication
- Strong sense of ownership and bias for action.

SoFi Insights
What We Do
SoFi wasn’t built to be a bank. Or a technology company. We were built for one mission: help people achieve financial independence so they can realize their ambitions. Redefining an entire industry isn’t easy work—and it’s not for the faint of heart. It takes a certain kind of team. People with diverse perspectives and expertise, united by a common sense of purpose. People willing to challenge assumptions but always do the right thing. People proving that innovation and responsibility don’t have to compete, but can come together to create something truly unconventional in the world. For the last eight years, we’ve been charting this new path forward. We call it The SoFi Way. At SoFi, we don’t just talk about culture: we live it. The SoFi Way is how we show up every day, how we make decisions, and how we build for our members, clients, and each other.
