We are always moving forward – always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.

The Role

An opportunity has opened up to join Kyndryl’s Data Governance Office! This role is ideal for candidates prepared to be a key contributor to Kyndryl’s Privacy Operations team, reporting to the Legal function. 

As a Privacy Operations Specialist, you will be part of a team responsible for developing and driving privacy compliance operations and associated interactions with Kyndryl’s Chief Information Office (CIO), Chief Information Security Office (CISO), Procurement, Marketing and business teams.

The role requires an understanding of global regulatory requirements in privacy, cybersecurity, data governance, AI and supply chain management and the ability to create, implement and manage programs to identify and mitigate risk and measure, track and report on compliance globally across Kyndryl’s business and commercial operations.

In this role, you will collaborate closely with the CIO, CISO, Procurement, Marketing, and other teams, as well as members of the Kyndryl Global Privacy and Data Governance Office, to align privacy, cybersecurity, data governance, AI, and supply chain management operations with Kyndryl’s strategic objectives.

You will also work with Kyndryl’s Global Practices and customer engagement teams to ensure these operations meet the company’s needs. A key part of your responsibilities will be to understand the legal requirements that drive these areas, enabling you to recommend improvements and clearly communicate Kyndryl’s operations to relevant business stakeholders and customer account teams.

Your success will be measured by your ability to support customer, enterprise, and regulatory audits, respond effectively to inquiries from Kyndryl personnel regarding privacy, cybersecurity, data governance, AI, and supply chain management processes, and manage requests for information.

You will also play a pivotal role in optimizing and managing internal processes, providing guidance on the collection, use, and processing of personal data, as well as the use of cookies, pixels, and other web-tracking technologies, and respond to data subject requests related to these areas. Finally, you will manage, update, and curate internal and external guidance and content concerning privacy, cybersecurity, data governance, AI, and supply chain management.

Whether you want to broaden your knowledge base or narrow your scope and specialize in a specific sector, you can find your opportunity here.

Who You Are

You’re good at what you do and possess the required experience to prove it. However, equally as important – you have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development.

• Proven ability to collaborate across business functions
• Demonstrated business judgment and ability to rationalize operations

Preferred Technical and Professional Experience
