• Monitor compliance metrics and prepare reports to inform leadership decisions and demonstrate continuous improvement.

Who You’ll Work With     

You will be part of Teradata’s Global Information Security Compliance team; a small collaborative group of specialists managing a broad portfolio of certifications, frameworks, and customer assurance activities.

In this role, you will engage with:

• Internal partners such as Operations, Engineering, Law, IT, and Security teams to align controls and remediation.
• Regional teams, including Teradata’s Global Services and Innovation Hub in Prague, where you’ll provide compliance support primarily through remote collaboration, with occasional on-site engagement for key Teradata initiatives or customer driven audits.
• External stakeholders, including third-party assessors, auditors, and customers, to demonstrate Teradata’s security posture and maintain trust with all our partners.

• Excellent communication skills — able to explain complex security concepts to technical teams, business stakeholders, and external partners — with the adaptability to work both collaboratively and independently.

What You’ll Bring

• Hands-on experience designing, implementing, and managing security controls in public cloud environments such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Familiarity with global regulations and data privacy requirements, including GDPR, cross-border data transfer, and related compliance obligations.
