Siemens Security Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Siemens, we help organizations transform maintenance and operations through connected insights, AI-powered technology, and intelligent asset management solutions. Our software enables customers to manage the full lifecycle of assets, facilities, and infrastructure while improving efficiency, reducing risk, and optimizing long-term investments. By connecting data, people, and processes, we empower organizations to make smarter decisions, maximize asset performance, and achieve more resilient operations.
Description
Siemens Asset Management Software is seeking an experienced Director of Data Privacy & Governance to run the day-to-day privacy and data governance program across the enterprise. This role will work closely with Product Management, Technology, Sales, Legal, and the CISO to turn privacy requirements into practical processes, controls, and operating routines. While the CISO owns data security, this position is accountable for ensuring personal data is handled lawfully, consistently, and in line with global regulatory requirements across our products and internal operations.
This is an execution-focused leadership role. You will manage the core operating mechanisms of the privacy program, including the RoPA, Privacy Requirements Checklist, DPIA process, DSR workflow, reporting cadence, and cross-functional action tracking. The role requires close partnership with product, engineering, legal, commercial, and security teams to embed privacy into everyday decisions, improve audit readiness, and increase the speed and consistency of privacy reviews.
This U.S.-based role is ideally located in Raleigh, NC; however, we encourage applications from qualified remote candidates across the Eastern U.S.
Qualified Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States and will not require employer sponsored work authorization now or in the future for employment in the United States.
