Who We Are

At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. So why work at Kyndryl? 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

The Data Governance Assessment team will be responsible for performing privacy, cybersecurity, data governance, AI and supply chain risk assessments for Kyndryl’s internal and customer operations and for identifying and advising Kyndryl’s businesses on associated controls and mitigations.

You will work closely with the Chief Information Office (CIO), Chief Information Security Office (CISO), Procurement, Global Privacy Ops and Data Governance Project Office, and other teams to ensure that privacy, cybersecurity, data governance and AI assessments and reporting are coordinated, and that key privacy, security, data governance, AI and supply chain risks are mitigated in a timely and effective manner.

As a member of the Data Governance Assessment team you also will be responsible for designing, optimizing and implementing processes to effectively identify, assess and mitigate enterprise privacy, cybersecurity, data governance, AI and supply chain risk.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Analyzing laws, regulations, guidance, and industry practices to identify potential gaps with Kyndryl’s privacy, cybersecurity, supplier and AI policies, procedures and practices
• Assisting in the identification of higher risk data processing activities and advising on ways to mitigate such risk
• Assessing and recommending mitigation actions and assisting and guiding the Kyndryl business in remediating any potential gaps
• Supporting customer and supplier contracting activities and negotiations
• In consultation with multiple other internal stakeholders (including the CIO, CISO, Procurement and Legal personnel), preparing world class guidance and training for business and legal colleagues across Kyndryl
• Developing and optimizing internal policies and procedures, guide and negotiate commercial terms related to compliance globally across Kyndryl’s business and commercial operations in a manner that appropriately balances legal, regulatory and business risks

Every position at Kyndryl offers a way forward to grow your career. We have opportunities that you won’t find anywhere else, including hands-on experience, learning opportunities, and the chance to certify in all four major platforms. 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. You have a growth mindset; keen to drive your own personal and professional development, and to support others in theirs. You take your work seriously and prioritize customer impact. Most importantly, you understand that the most successful teams trust and enjoy each other and are naturally inclusive in how you work with others.

To be successful in the role you will have the following experience and skills:

• 5+ years of experience in the cybersecurity, privacy, data governance and/or supply chain management fields
• 5+ years of experience in the IT outsourcing, managed services provider, or cloud computing industries and a clear understanding of enterprise software, infrastructure, and cloud services
• A strong understanding of international data privacy and cybersecurity law and regulations, including EU requirements (e.g., GDPR, DORA, NIS2 and the EU AI Act), US requirements (e.g., federal and state security, privacy, AI and supply chain management laws and federal and state laws applicable to financial services entities) and similar laws and frameworks outside the EU and the US
• Experience developing and negotiating security, privacy, data governance, AI, and supply chain management terms in commercial agreements, from the perspective of a data controller, data processor, procurer of products and services, and partner ecosystems
• Experience performing privacy and other risk assessments, including an understanding of associated technologies and offerings
• Strong written and oral communication, analytic and project management skills
• Manage and lead multi-stakeholder project teams and provide proactive advice in a creative and business-centric way
• Demonstrated business judgment and proven ability to work as part of diverse and multi-cultural teams of both legal and business colleagues

Preferred Experience

• JD from an accredited law school or equivalent international law degree
• Certification in privacy, cybersecurity, audit and/or related fields (e.g., IAPP CIPM, CIPP-US, CIPP-EU, CISSP, CISA and/or PCI QSA)
• Additional language(s) would be an advantage
