We are seeking a Privacy Assurance Consultant who can bridge the gap between legal, compliance, and engineering teams to ensure privacy requirements are translated into technical, testable solutions.

- Audit technical plans and vendor integrations to ensure alignment with privacy guardrails.
- Identify scenarios requiring escalation to legal teams.
- Convert ambiguous legal requirements into clear, testable technical specifications.
- Maintain a privacy assurance toolkit, including automated tests, checklists, test cases, and vendor-assessment criteria.
Eligibility Requirements

- Strong technical background across web/mobile SDKs, event streaming, identity resolution, encryption, and logging/observability.
- Working knowledge of key privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, PECR) and regulator guidance.
- Ability to run privacy impact assessments with both technical and legal depth.
- Experience authoring NFRs and Behaviour-Driven Development-style testable specifications.
- Audit and assurance mindset with the ability to challenge technical designs and vendor claims.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration with Engineering, Architecture, Legal, Security, Compliance, Product, and Procurement teams.
Soft Skills
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical abilities.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- High level of collaboration and stakeholder-management capability.
- Strong business acumen with a focus on delivering privacy-aligned solutions that enable business value.
