• Partner with engineers and architects to implement data solutions that enable the business while protecting sensitive data
• Conduct privacy assessments, identify risks, and help drive mitigation efforts through tools, training, and guidance
• Review new systems, features, and data flows for privacy impact, and partner with teams to design technical controls that reduce privacy risk
• Partner with product and engineering teams to design privacy-preserving solutions, including controls for data minimization, retention, deletion, and access
• Manage projects and enhancements from requirements gathering through delivery and stakeholder communication
• Improve documentation, reporting, evidence collection, and operational processes that support broader compliance efforts
• Identify opportunities to reduce manual work, improve data quality, and strengthen consistency through automation

What We’re Looking For

• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, global environment
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and collaboration skills
• Experience leveraging or building AI-enabled tools to enhance GRC processes, including developing AI assistants or automation workflows to improve regulatory monitoring, documentation, and control oversight
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, balance risk, and quickly learn new technologies
• Experience working with data systems and large datasets, including understanding data flows, retention, deletion, and access patterns

Bonus Points

• Experience with DSR, DSAR, or privacy operations platforms
• Graduate-level study in privacy engineering
• Experience in gaming, entertainment, or another consumer technology environment
• Experience working with internationally distributed teams
• Certifications such as CIPT, CIPP, CIPM, CISSP, CISA, CRISC, or FAIR
