Responsibilities

• Partner with cross‑functional teams—including Product, Engineering, and Security—to provide strategic privacy advice, embed privacy‑by‑design principles, and translate regulatory requirements into practical technical solutions.
• Identify privacy risks and opportunities proactively—helping to shape privacy‑compliant tools, features, and workflows early in the development process and promoting continuous improvement in data protection practices.
• Manage all privacy‑related legal work—including drafting and reviewing data processing agreements (DPAs), privacy policies, legitimate interest assessments (LIAs), and data protection impact assessments (DPIAs)—to ensure compliance with data protection regulations.
• Conduct internal and external privacy audits and oversee relationships with external privacy consultants and legal advisors, coordinating inputs across business functions and ensuring alignment on key decisions.
• Monitor evolving privacy regulations, case law, and best practices, and communicate relevant insights internally to ensure ongoing compliance and strategic alignment.

What we look for

• Reasoning ability. Given the necessary knowledge, you can solve complex problems. You think from first principles, and structure your ideas sharply. You resist the influence of biases. You identify and take care of the details that matter.
• Drive. You’re extremely ambitious in everything you do—and your initiative, effort, and tenacity match the intensity of your ambition. You feel deeply responsible for your work. You hold yourself to a high—and rising—bar.
• Team spirit. You give generously and without the expectation of receiving in return. You support the best idea, not your idea. You’re reliable, honest, and transparent.
• Proficiency in English. You read, write, and speak proficiently in English.

What we offer

• Incredibly talented, entrepreneurial teams. You’ll work in small, result‑oriented, autonomous teams alongside some of the brightest people in your field.
• An exceptional opportunity for growth. We go to great lengths to hire individuals of outstanding potential—then our priority is to put them in the ideal position to thrive.
