The Role
As Group Product Manager, Privacy and Trust, you will own enterprise consent, privacy and preferences. You will define the long-term platform vision, architecture priorities, and roadmap, and lead a team of product managers responsible for the services, APIs, and tooling that downstream products (mobile, web, in-vehicle) depend on every day.
This role tackles complex problems at the intersection of regulation, large-scale distributed systems, and enterprise platform strategy. Success requires strong platform product instincts, principled decision-making in ambiguous and constrained environments, and the ability to align engineering, legal, cybersecurity and many downstream product teams behind a shared roadmap.
What You'll Do:

• Own the long-term product vision, architecture priorities, and multi-year roadmap for the platform, balancing regulatory requirements, downstream consumer needs, reliability, and total cost of ownership.
• Lead and grow a team of product managers covering the major consent, privacy and preferences areas (consent management, legal terms and agreements, preferences, and platform services), setting strategy and developing PM talent on the team.
• Establish and operate the platform reliability and quality bar, including SLOs, production readiness reviews, incident reduction targets, observability, and a clear path to 99.9%+ availability for read endpoints.
• Define the onboarding and self-service model for new consumers of the platform, reducing time-to-onboard a new jurisdiction or product and minimizing duplicated compliance logic across teams.
• Act as the voice of the customer and ensure digital products follow best in class privacy and trust practices, even when you don't directly own the product.
• Actively monitor emerging trends, incorporate data, research, and market analysis to inform, define, prioritize, and drive execution of product roadmap that spans privacy initiatives, data handling, consent experiences, and privacy controls.
• Operate as the single point of accountability for the platform and team across consumers (mobile, web, in-vehicle), prioritizing roadmap intake, brokering trade-offs, and unblocking critical programs.
• Define and monitor platform KPI s (latency, availability, consent throughput, onboarding time, audit/compliance coverage, P1 incidents, downstream adoption) and communicate platform health, progress, and trade-offs to senior leadership.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications):

• 5+ years of digital/software product management experience, with at least 3+ years owning enterprise platforms, APIs, or backend services consumed by multiple internal product teams.
• 3+ years of experience as a people manager of product managers, or equivalent experience leading senior PMs and complex multi-PM platform programs.
• Demonstrated experience in privacy, consent, identity, compliance, or another regulated platform domain, with a strong understanding of how regulation translates into product and engineering requirements.
• Strong technical fluency with distributed systems, microservices, event-driven architectures, API design, and data platforms; able to make informed trade-offs and partner credibly with senior engineering leaders.
• Proven ability to balance the needs of many downstream consumers with platform-wide consistency, performance, and total cost of ownership at significant scale.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to define platform metrics and SLOs, and to interpret operational and adoption data to drive decisions.
• Excellent written communication, with the ability to produce structured, data-informed narratives that align legal, engineering, and product stakeholders.
• Demonstrated success leading cross-functional initiatives in fast-paced, matrixed organizations.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

• MBA, JD, or advanced degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, Public Policy, or a related field.
• Experience owning consent, identity, customer data, or compliance platforms at a large consumer technology, automotive, financial services, or healthcare company.
• Track record of building platform onboarding programs (intake, self-service tooling, documentation, partner enablement) that scaled adoption across many internal teams.
