• Analyze platform findings, logs, inventories, tickets, and other data to identify trends, control gaps, affected assets, and potential exposure.
• Support incident response by analyzing technical evidence and helping determine affected systems, data, individuals, vendors, locations, and time periods.
• Turn findings and legal requirements into clear controls, corrective actions, and decision-ready reporting; confirm fixes and elevate material risk.
• Partner with Privacy, Legal, Information Security, Engineering, Product, Marketing, Procurement, and business stakeholders to reinforce requirements and embed privacy into digital products and processes.

• Hands-on experience with a privacy, security, consent, web-governance, or digital-monitoring platform.
• Knowledge of web and mobile technologies, including JavaScript, cookies, local storage, tags, pixels, APIs, and network requests.
• Experience using technical tools and data sources to investigate data flows, map data, analyze incidents, and reach well-supported conclusions.
• Ability to turn legal, privacy, and information security requirements into practical technical controls and measurable results.
• Strong communication and partnership skills, including the ability to explain technical issues clearly to legal, business, and leadership audiences.
