- Conduct comprehensive reviews of vendor contracts to identify data retention and destruction requirements.
- Document contractual obligations and associated risks.
- Design and implement sustainable processes to monitor and enforce compliance with data retention and destruction requirements.
- Partner with Legal, Risk, Compliance, and business teams to address inconsistencies and operationalize obligations.
- Review existing contracts to identify gaps, ambiguities, or missing provisions related to compliance, risk management, data handling, and vendor oversight.
- Develop recommendations and partner with stakeholders to prioritize and implement corrective actions.
- Maintain reporting on contract reviews, findings, remediation efforts, and overall program health.
- Lead initiatives with minimal oversight and independently drive outcomes.
- Develop executive-ready reporting, dashboards, and status updates for leadership.
- Facilitate discussions across cross-functional teams and vendors to resolve issues and drive accountability.
- Document processes, procedures, controls, and governance artifacts to support a mature and sustainable program.
Experience Requirements:
- Demonstrated experience leading contract governance, vendor management, compliance, risk, or operational programs.
- Strong understanding of third-party risk management, contract administration, and regulatory or compliance requirements.
- Experience reviewing and interpreting contractual language related to data management, compliance obligations, and vendor oversight.
- Proven ability to develop processes and controls from concept through implementation.
- Excellent written communication, documentation, and executive reporting skills.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with a focus on identifying risks and driving remediation.
- Ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and influence stakeholders without direct authority.
- Preferred: experience supporting regulatory, audit, risk, or compliance initiatives.
- Preferred: knowledge of data retention, data destruction, privacy, and information governance requirements.
- Preferred: familiarity with vendor governance and third-party risk management frameworks.
- Preferred: experience in financial services, payments, or highly regulated industries.
Education Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Law, Risk Management, Information Systems, or a related field required
Advanced degree (e.g., MBA, JD, or Master’s in Risk/Compliance) is a plus
