The Digital & Information Governance team is part of the Group Data Integration Service team within IT. This is a global team responsible for managing all information-related matters for Swiss Re group-wide. We are 6 members based in Bratislava and Zurich.
We are looking for an experienced person with a legal background to join our team. We assess proposals for new analytics projects, identify risks and advise on mitigation measures.
This role offers you the opportunity to work with a large number of stakeholders within Swiss Re across the globe.
We are a friendly collaborative team of governance experts and records management systems specialists. Our team works in a fully agile manner to help business functions find a way to bring their projects to fruition in a compliant manner. Projects are technology projects involving usage of datasets. Those datasets need to be assessed by our team to identify the rights and restrictions for the usage of that data.
We work with IT and business functions to understand applicable risks in their projects. These risks are often involving areas of law such as copyright, open source, data protection, and competition aspects. We work with clients to understand the implications of their use cases and to complete our assessments. We frequently consult legal, finance, sourcing and compliance experts. We then clear use cases, often subject to conditions. We are also implementing a follow-up process, so that we can review and check that the conditions have been met.
We also conduct several information sessions for training or awareness building, so that the right teams in Swiss Re know who we are, what we do, and how to find us.
You will be willing to help us preserve the integrity of Swiss Re's global IT environment by providing advice and training, whilst keeping in mind Swiss Re's policies and strategic initiatives. You love working with people, you are comfortable working with processes and you are customer-focused. You are also collaborative, enthusiastic and team-orientated.
You understand legal issues surrounding uses of data and the need for IT governance. You offer some compliance and/or legal experience, including data protection legislation (any jurisdiction) and you understand risks associated with cloud projects. You are analytical, pay close attention to detail, but equally can keep an eye on the bigger picture. You are very comfortable working in a team and you can liaise with experts to solicit their advice. You are not fazed by dealing with senior management, and you can sit with lay people and explain processes and risks to them.
The key part of your role will be to translate standards into questions/requirements for compliance measures, explain them to business or IT stakeholders, and you will play an interface role between legal & compliance experts and case owners. You will perform analyses of risks in use cases.
Furthermore, you can design and conduct training sessions with confidence, you like marketing, you are fascinated by technological developments and you have a 'can-do' attitude.
