We partner with teams across the organization to advance our corporate priorities, support innovation and ultimately deliver on our promise to safeguard our customers’ privacy and to earn and maintain their trust. Compliance with the law is the starting point from which we passionately pursue opportunities to demonstrate respect for our customers through transparent, robust, and ethical data practices. Our team takes pride in earning a reputation as innovative thought leaders, strategic business partners and subject matter experts in privacy, data ethics and AI governance.

We are deeply passionate about our team and business, thriving on innovative solutions and exceptional team member experiences. We lead strategies to strengthen the TELUS culture with cutting-edge initiatives, striving for excellence and an unyielding commitment to inspiring our team members, customers, and communities.

As a Senior Data & Trust Partner for TELUS Health you will act as a trusted advisor, consultant, change agent, and coach, building collaborative relationships with TELUS leaders. You will play a critical role in TELUS’ technology innovation, as you support strategic business needs. This role will also be instrumental in building, implementing, and managing new data and trust programs and initiatives from the ground up, covering a broad spectrum of privacy, data governance, and responsible AI functions to meet TELUS\' evolving needs.

Your daily work involves engaging in conversations with the business you support, offering creative solutions and influencing leaders to help them create sustainable, winning programs.

Your counsel is built on logic, analysis, and strategy, coupled with a natural curiosity and an appreciation for learning from challenges. Your passion for making a difference directly impacts TELUS\'s success and creates positive outcomes for team members and customers.

What you’ll do

• Partner and build effective relationships with TELUS leaders to address data and trust challenges, organizational design, and data and trust operational needs - offering expert advice, creative solutions, and new processes where required
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, expanding leadership capability, challenging the status quo, and ensuring data and trust strategies align with TELUS’ business goals, values, and its arms-length relationship with TELUS
• Liaise with DTO subject matter experts to adapt shared programs, provide feedback, and design TELUS-specific initiatives when needed
• Work in partnership with TELUS’ senior leadership to ensure optimal data and trust solutions are in place to meet dynamic business needs and align with TELUS values and business objectives

• Drive continuous improvement by evaluating ROI of data and trust programs, integrating TELUS offerings where appropriate, and creating TELUS-specific initiatives that enhance employee experience
• Develop communications strategies and create content that engage employees, leaders, and stakeholders on data and trust matters
• Ensure fairness, compliance, and autonomy in all data and trust programs—aligning with TELUS governance standards where applicable

Qualifications

What you bring

• Exceptional communicator and influencer with the ability to engage diverse stakeholders and deliver clear, compelling presentations
