As you set or create data collection and usage rules across the company, you will work with the Compliance and Policies team to codify the rules into guidelines and standards that can be enforced via monitoring controls.

You will serve as the authoritative source for understanding data flows and usage across AIML - working side-by-side with privacy, software and data engineers, data scientists, EPMs, and lawyers. As a subject matter expert in AIML's data collection and use practices, you will focus on setting data-driven decisions that empower the business.
