Overview
The organization is scaling its global privacy program alongside growth in its e-commerce, advertising, health, and AI-driven product lines, while the regulatory landscape continues to evolve.

Responsibilities
- Monitor global privacy and data protection developments and translate enforcement trends into clear, actionable guidance for business stakeholders.
- Review and counsel new products and business initiatives across e-commerce, advertising, health, and AI-driven product lines to ensure compliant design is built in from the start.
- Establish and support frameworks for advertising data use, audience targeting, measurement, and consent, including well-governed restrictions on sensitive data in advertising contexts.
- Assess and govern data sharing arrangements with retail partners, advertisers, vendors, and subsidiaries, ensuring appropriate agreements and cross-border transfer mechanisms (including DPA, BAA, SCCs, and DPF).
- Strengthen privacy program operations by supporting PRAs and DPIAs; maintaining effective intake and documentation processes; and providing standard guidance, templates, playbooks, and training materials to make privacy requirements accessible and scalable across the organization.
Requirements
- J.D. from a top-tier law school.
