Job summary

CI&T is hiring a Security & Privacy Governance Lead to own sensitive-data classification, masking, and governance for a large-scale Finance data platform modernization for a major US mortgage lender. You will design policies directly in the platform and ensure secure sign-off with client teams.

You will lead the classification/masking work in the design-validation phase, coordinate with security/compliance, and define access tiering and lineage end-to-end across data layers and reports.

Qualifications

• Solid experience in data security/privacy governance roles on enterprise data platforms, including hands-on policy implementation.
• Experience implementing data classification, dynamic masking, and row-access/row-level security on a modern cloud data warehouse (Snowflake preferred).
• Experience designing or contributing to column-level lineage across multi-layer data pipelines.
• Working knowledge of data privacy and access-governance practice in a regulated industry (financial services, healthcare, or similar).
• Comfortable leading the classification and masking design during a design-validation phase, where output gates the build.
• Fluent English (C1) — direct engagement with client stakeholders and gate reviews.

Responsibilities

• Lead sensitive-data classification across source systems and values, producing accurate classifications.
• Design dynamic data masking policies and row-access policies on sensitive financial fields, scoped by role and business unit.
• Define raw-vs-curated access tiering and least-privilege model across the data platform.
• Design column-level lineage from source to reports in auditable end-to-end flow.
• Support master data management definitions of key metrics across the platform.
• Deliver governance artifacts: policy objects/tags and versioned lineage artifacts in client repositories.
• Partner with client Security, Privacy, and Compliance teams for design approvals.
• Integrate artifacts into client enterprise governance tooling without building the tooling themselves.
