Zusammenfassung

Zillow Group Inc. is seeking a Senior Program Manager to design and own the People Data Access & Governance framework, partnering with HR, Legal, Privacy, Security, and Product to balance data use with safeguards.

You will lead cross-functional governance efforts, define RBAC and tiering, build intake and review processes, and drive scalable, auditable controls across Workday to Databricks, ensuring responsible access for HRBPs, leaders, and AI tools.

Qualifikationen

• 8+ years of experience in data governance, HR technology, people analytics, or technical program management.
• Familiarity with cloud-based analytical environments to partner with Data Engineering and Security about how access controls are implemented.
• Experience governing sensitive data across its full lifecycle: classification, permissioning, access review cadences, audit trails, and exception handling, ideally with people or HR data specifically.
• Ability to operate in genuine ambiguity at scale; ownership and autonomy in moving from policy to operating model.
• Strong cross-functional partnership with InfoSec, Legal, HR, Data Engineering, and Product to align governance objectives.

Aufgaben

• Design and own Zillow’s People Data Access & Governance program, including policies, access frameworks, data classification standards, and the principles that determine who can access what, through which interfaces, and under what conditions.
• Partner with HRBPs, People Analytics, Legal and Privacy, Security, and Product and Tech leaders to understand how people data is used in practice, and design governance that protects that data without creating friction that pushes teams toward ungoverned workarounds.
• Govern the full spectrum of people data access: from curated, governed metric layers and self-service analytics surfaces, to back-end power user access in Databricks.
• Define how AI-powered tools, including large language model interfaces that allow natural language querying of workforce data, into the access governance model, and build the guardrails that make those tools safe to deploy at scale.
• Define the access governance framework for people data, including role-based access design, tiering principles, and the standards that govern when access is granted, modified, or revoked.
• Serve as the primary decision-maker for people data access questions across the organization: fielding requests, making principled calls, and building scalable intake and escalation processes.
• Identify and close gaps in how people data moves through Zillow’s data ecosystem, ensuring masking, permissioning, and audit mechanisms exist at every layer.
• Lead cross-functional working groups and drive alignment on data access standards, sensitivity classifications, and escalation paths.
• Build the operational infrastructure of the program: intake workflows, periodic access reviews, exception handling, and reporting.
