• Drive privacy maturity assessments and further operationalise Tabcorp’s Privacy Management Plan.
• Carry out Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) and recommend effective controls.
• Draft, maintain, and deliver privacy, data, cyber and Responsible AI related policies, procedures, plans and training programs.
• Manage privacy inquiries, data access requests and complaints.
