• You have demonstrated experience managing end-to-end privacy incident response and breach notification processes, from triage and investigation through regulator and stakeholder notifications.
• You have a strong track record of advising on privacy-by-design for digital products, and in digital marketing and advertising ecosystems.
• You communicate complex regulatory concepts clearly and succinctly for non-legal audiences and are skilled at crafting guidance that is practical, actionable, and aligned with business goals.
• You are comfortable operating with substantial autonomy, exercising sound judgment in ambiguous regulatory environments with material legal and reputational stakes.
• You are highly organized, able to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously, and known for strong attention to detail.
• You bring a collegial, low-ego working style, enjoy cross-functional collaboration, and balance rigor with perspective and a sense of humor.
