Business Process Governance Specialist

Western Digital's Global Supply Chain Organization (GSCO) is building a Business Process Governance (BPG) program — a new, centralized governance function responsible for the integrity, currency, and audit-readiness of all business processes and procedures across the full GSCO. This program replaces fragmented, function-by-function documentation practices with a single, durable governance model that keeps policy and operational practice in sync, satisfies Internal and External Audit control requirements, and creates a standing mechanism for continuous improvement and digitalization. The Business Process Governance Specialist is a core member of the BPG team, working directly under the BPG Program Lead. This role is responsible for executing the operational backbone of the program — procedure lifecycle management, audit control mapping, adherence assessment, governance tooling operations, training coordination, and continuous improvement tracking — across six GSCO functions and an active library of approximately 72 governed procedures. This is not a content authorship role. Procedure content is owned and written by functional SMEs. The BPG Specialist is the governance engine: ensuring every procedure has a named owner, is mapped to its audit controls, is reviewed on schedule, and reflects operational reality. Note: One of the three BPG Specialist hires will be designated as the Governance Technology & Operations lead based on candidate profile and experience, with additional responsibility for tooling selection support, IT project coordination, and platform administration. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Procedure Lifecycle Management • Inventory, assess, and classify all GSCO procedures across assigned functions using established BPG framework standards • Assign and confirm named procedure ownership in coordination with Functional VPs and their designated POCs • Manage the full procedure lifecycle: intake, review scheduling, version control, approval routing, publication, and archival • Identify and document procedure gaps; hand off gap remediation packages to functional owners with templates, standards, and deadlines • Escalate missed review deadlines per the BPG escalation framework • Apply the governance model to the procedure library across all assigned functions Audit Control Mapping & Readiness Support • Map all assigned procedures to applicable audit controls (Internal Audit, BCMS, IMS) using the BPG control mapping standard • Maintain the procedure-to-control mapping registry; keep it current through procedure reviews and audit activity • Support pre-audit readiness reviews with Functional Owners; surface documentation gaps before audit windows open • Maintain audit intake log; route audit evidence requests to the appropriate Functional Owner with SLA clock initiated • Track SLA compliance by Functional Owner; escalate misses per program framework • Capture lessons learned post-audit; contribute findings to framework refinement. Governance Tooling Operations • Operate the BPG governance platform as the day-to-day system administrator: document repository, approval workflow, version control, audit trail, and automated review reminders • Configure tooling for each function • Ensure access controls are maintained in alignment with the ownership model • Identify and escalate tooling gaps or workflow failures For the Governance Technology & Operations designated hire — additional responsibilities: • Lead the governance tooling evaluation and selection process in partnership with IT • Define and document BPG tooling functional requirements for IT engagement • Project-manage the tooling implementation from selection through go-live • Serve as the primary BPG liaison to IT for platform configuration,
