Operational Oversight & Delivery:

Takes accountability for on-time and high-quality execution across all privacy operations workstreams (DSRs, DIN/DBN, DPQ, etc.). Ensure that standard operating procedures are followed and meets regulatory deadlines and internal service level agreements for each request or incident. Provide guidance and mentorship to juniors and monitor daily workflows to quickly address any roadblocks or delays.

Data Incident & Breach Management (DIN/DBN):

• Manage the end-to-end process for data incidents and breaches, from initial triage through regulatory notification. Work closely with the Cybersecurity incident response team to investigate privacy incidents and determine breach severity. If a breach is deemed reportable under laws like GDPR (within 72 hours) or CCPA, coordinate with Privacy Legal to draft notifications and ensure timely submission to Data Protection Authorities and communications to affected individuals. Maintain detailed incident records (what happened, actions taken) to demonstrate compliance. After resolution, lead post-incident reviews to implement preventive measures.
• Data Subject Rights (DSR) Request Oversight: Oversee the intake and fulfillment of Data Subject Rights requests (access, deletion, correction, etc.) across all relevant jurisdictions. Make sure requests are logged in the appropriate system and assigned to the correct data owners. Track each DSR to closure, verifying that responses to data subjects meet legal requirements (for example, completed within 30 days for GDPR .or 45 days under CCPA).
• Regulatory Inquiries & Notifications: Act as the primary liaison with Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) for any regulatory inquiries, audits, or breach notifications. This includes coordinating responses to official requests or investigations and preparing formal notification letters when required by law (e.g., drafting notification content for authorities in collaboration with Legal). Ensure all regulatory communications are handled professionally and within required timeframes. Maintain a log of all DPA interactions and outcomes and escalate critical issues to senior leadership as needed.
• Operational Metrics & Reporting: Develop and deliver privacy operations metrics and reports to DRO leadership and other stakeholders. Aggregate data across all workstreams (e.g. number of DSRs received and closed, breach notification timelines, outstanding DPQs) and create weekly/monthly dashboards. Highlight key trends or risks – for instance, if DSR volumes spike or an incident took longer than expected to close. Use these insights to recommend process improvements or resource adjustments.
• Cross-Functional Coordination & Compliance: Facilitate strong collaboration between the Data Risk Office and other teams. Work with Privacy Legal (Chief Privacy Officer’s team) to interpret new regulatory requirements and update operations accordingly. Partner with the Cyber Risk/Security team during incident investigations to ensure swift containment and remediation of data breaches.

Qualifications & Experience

• Educational Background: Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field such as Information Security, Law, Business Administration, or Computer Science. A master’s degree or professional certification in data privacy/risk management (e.g., CIPP/E, CIPM) is highly valued but not required, demonstrating formal knowledge of privacy principles.
• Experience: Minimum 5 years of experience in data privacy, compliance, or related risk management operations.
• The candidate should have hands-on experience managing privacy processes – for example, overseeing responses to data breaches and data subject requests in a multinational environment.
• Experience working with global privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.) is essential.
• Regulatory Knowledge: Strong working knowledge of major data protection laws and regulatory requirements, including GDPR (Europe), CCPA/CPRA (California), and familiarity with other laws like LGPD (Brazil), PDPA (various countries).
• The candidate should understand obligations such as breach reporting timelines (e.g. 72-hour rule for GDPR), individual rights processes, and how these regulations apply operationally.
• They should also stay updated on emerging privacy laws and be able to quickly adapt processes to new legal requirements.
• Communication and stakeholder engagement: Demonstrated ability to deliver in privacy operations team and coordinate complex processes.
• This includes excellent organizational skills to juggle multiple concurrent tasks (e.g., several DSRs and an incident investigation simultaneously) and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Strong communication skills are required – the analyst must communicate clearly with stakeholders at all levels, from analysts up to executives.
