• Assist with the assessment and resolution of data incidents
• Advise on privacy, including through the completion of Privacy Impact Assessments, Jira tickets and queries to our privacy channel
• Counsel on data processing agreements with vendors, due diligence and high risk Transfer Impact Assessments.

We'd love it if you had

• A deep understanding and proven experience in key children’s privacy regulations globally (e.g. COPPA; GDPR; UK Children’s Code).
• Demonstrated experience at or for a rapidly growing business, technology or SaaS industry experience would also be helpful, where you have advised on privacy and product matters.
• Experience working in a global company with stakeholders based in different jurisdictions.
• Good understanding of AI.
• Familiar with the DSA.
