• Influence enterprise decision‑making by clearly articulating tradeoffs, risks, and recommendations related to data use and consent.
• Represent trust and consent operations in enterprise forums, initiatives, and technology governance bodies.
• Lead and develop trust and consent professionals (e.g., Consent Analyst), establishing clear ownership, expectations, and accountability.
• Build a high‑performing team that operates with autonomy, rigor, and a strong ownership mindset.
