• 5+ years of experience in privacy program management, information security, or a related compliance function, ideally spanning both in-house and cross-functional environments.
• Hands-on experience supporting or operating privacy and/or security programs aligned to frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001/27701, NIST CSF, or similar.
• Working knowledge of consumer privacy laws (e.g., CCPA/CPRA, GDPR, COPPA) and a willingness to build deeper subject-matter expertise over time.
• Practical experience with, or exposure to, security incident response, vendor risk management, and identity/access management concepts across on-premise and cloud environments.
• Able to rapidly interpret relevant laws, regulations and technical requirements, and translate them into practical, actionable and business-friendly guidance.
• Excellent stakeholder management, communication and collaboration skills; able to explain complex privacy/security concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Strong organizational skills, a problem-solving mindset, attention to detail, and the ability to exercise sound judgment in ambiguous environments.
• Strong technical orientation with an understanding of modern cloud architectures and data flows, and the ability to leverage emerging technologies and AI-powered tools to strengthen privacy, security and compliance programs.
