- Supporting Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), including document review and response coordination
- Reviewing and improving privacy agreements and intake processes
- Assisting with Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and internal documentation
- Contributing to privacy training programs across the firm
- Supporting policy development and global compliance initiatives
- Assisting with privacy breach response and risk mitigation
- Partnering with internal stakeholders to drive “privacy by design” across systems and processes
- Conducting research on global regulatory developments and advising on implications
What They’re Looking For
- 5 years of data privacy / data protection experience
- Strong understanding of global privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)
- Ability to analyze complex legal and operational issues with precision
- Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
- Strong communication skills and comfort working across all levels of an organization
