• Translate complex, technical privacy, security and compliance principles and policies into engaging content with clear, business‑friendly language.
• Work with cross‑functional leaders to support the development of role‑based training to cater to specific use cases and privacy, security, and compliance objectives.
• Ensure training and awareness content and initiatives are aligned with USDS requirements and objectives, and industry standards.
• Serve as the formal point of contact for global privacy training, communications, and policy teams. Provide direct, constructive feedback to global teams on how content can be adapted to better meet USDS needs.
• Advocate for USDS training needs and propose joint development projects to create new content that is mutually beneficial to USDS and global.
• Develop awareness campaigns that feature engaging, interactive, and user‑friendly communications, webinars, gamification, videos, infographics, social media, and blogs.
• Track key metrics (e.g., training completion rates, feedback scores) to measure the effectiveness of the program and provide regular reports to leadership.

• Proven experience in developing and delivering engaging training and awareness content.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to craft clear and compelling narratives for diverse audiences.
• Demonstrated ability to manage projects from end to end and work collaboratively with a variety of internal and external stakeholders.
• Foundational knowledge of key privacy concepts and regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and basic information security concepts while maintaining a high degree of integrity, trustworthiness, and the ability to inspire change.
• Must be adaptable and able to navigate through ambiguity and vagueness within a large complex organization.
• Strong project management and organizational skills to manage multiple initiatives effectively with a can‑do attitude, proactive and problem‑solving approach.

• Professional certifications from the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), such as: CIPP/US, CIPP/E, CIPM, CIPT; or other relevant certifications, such as: CDPSE, CDPO, PLS.
