Median time from filing to decision: 510 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.
Files H-1B transfers

About the role
- The way organizations interact with people data is changing fundamentally.
- When AI can be pointed at a dataset and asked anything: from "what's driving attrition in this org?" to "show me comp distribution by level", traditional access models built around fixed reports and credentialed BI users are no longer sufficient.
- This role exists because Zillow is leaning into that future, and doing it thoughtfully requires someone who can hold the full picture: who should have access to what, through which interfaces, with what controls, and accountable to whom.
Responsibilities
- This is a program ownership role with real technical depth requirements, broad cross-functional scope, and a mandate to build something durable in a space that is still actively evolving.
- Own the design of role-based access controls for people data across People data domains in Databricks, partnering with Security, HR Tech, and Data Engineering to implement, audit, and maintain those controls over time
- Lead cross-functional working groups and drive alignment on data access standards, sensitivity classifications, and escalation paths across a complex, multi-stakeholder environment
- The Senior Program Manager, People Data Access & Governance will own the program that holds all of that together.
- Build the operational infrastructure of the program: intake workflows, periodic access reviews, exception handling, and reporting that gives leadership real visibility into the state of people data governance
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in data governance, HR technology, people analytics, or technical program management, with demonstrated ownership of a program or domain, not just project delivery
- you understand that natural language interfaces to structured data require a fundamentally different access control philosophy than traditional BI, and you have a point of view on how to approach it
- Experience governing sensitive data across its full lifecycle: classification, permissioning, access review cadences, audit trails, and exception handling, ideally with people or HR data specifically
- Strong cross-functional partnership instincts: you know how to align InfoSec, Legal, HR, Data Engineering, and Product around a shared governance problem without letting any single stakeholder's agenda define the outcome
Nice to have
- Comfort operating in genuine ambiguity at scale
- A grounded, principled perspective on why people data governance matters
- you treat this as work with real ethical and organizational stakes, and you can articulate that credibly to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Enough HR domain fluency to understand the sensitivity of what you're governing, but your credibility comes from your technical depth and program ownership track record, not your HR background
- Experience with data privacy and compliance frameworks (GDPR, CCPA, or similar) and how they apply to workforce data specifically
- Background working with or alongside People Analytics or HRBP teams with an understanding of how workforce data is consumed for decision-making
Compensation
- In California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Washington state, and Washington DC the standard base pay range for this role is $127,100.00 - $203,000.00 annually.
- The base pay range is specific to these locations and may not be applicable to other locations.
Benefits
- In addition to a competitive base salary this position is also eligible for equity awards based on factors such as experience, performance and location.
