• Assist in the configuration and implementation of data integrations between third- party systems and centralized cloud data platforms such as Snowflake & Databricks;
• Assist in the configuration and implementation of data integrations between third- party platforms and centralized cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake & Databricks, enabling organizations to consolidate data from multiple source systems, apply business transformations, and make data available for downstream consumption by analytics and operational pipelines.
• Support the preparation of a variety of client materials (e.g., strategic memos, privacy assessments, presentations, policy and procedure documents, gap analysis reports, regulatory or compliance updates and internal communications content, etc.) in a timely and efficient manner, under the direction of senior team members;
• Follow market and regulatory trends across federal and state privacy law, including developments related to GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and other applicable frameworks;
• Organize existing administrative and client materials;
• Assist with ongoing program measurement and progress report development;
• Deliver high- quality work focused on client needs;
• Demonstrate a high level of integrity and ask the necessary questions to manage firm and client data responsibly.

How You’ll Grow
