• Demonstrated knowledge of major global privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, PIPEDA required; familiarity with Privacy frameworks from ISO, NIST are a plus).

• Proven experience developing and implementing privacy policies, procedures, and controls.

• Experience conducting privacy risk assessments (DPIAs/PIAs).

• Experience managing DSAR workflows and tools.

• Strong program/project management skills with the ability to track and contribute to multiple projects simultaneously.
