• You will lead operational activities such as managing the privacy and AI tooling stack, overseeing vendor relationships, maintaining records of processing activities (ROPAs), conducting DPIAs/FRIAs, managing data subject requests (DSRs), and supporting internal and external audits for certifications like ISO 27701 and 27001.

• Proven track record of owning privacy operations end-to-end with minimal supervision, including managing DSRS, risk assessments, compliance activities, and vendor relationships.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and sound risk judgment, enabling you to make informed decisions with limited oversight in ambiguous or evolving regulatory landscapes.
