Director Data Privacy

The Director of Data Privacy leads the enterprise-wide data privacy program for Alaska Air Group, setting strategy and building capability that enables the responsible, trusted, and innovative use of personal data in support of business, product, and operational objectives. A successful leader in this role positions privacy as a core business capability, embedded early in decision-making, responsive to customer expectations, and aligned to how data is processed across the organization. As a people leader, the Director establishes clear strategy, operating standards, and culture for the Data Privacy team, partnering closely with leaders across all AAG organizations to ensure privacy considerations are integrated thoughtfully across the data lifecycle. They are comfortable advising business, operation, and IT product teams, engaging legal and regulatory counsel, and drafting Board-ready materials on privacy risk posture, sometimes all in the same week. They understand that a mature privacy program is not built on policies alone; it is built on trust, tooling, and a team that operates with clarity about what it owns.
