About The Position

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager for Privacy Infrastructure Engineering (PIE) to lead a team of software engineers and privacy engineers. This role involves implementing, developing, and maintaining privacy-protective features and tools to meet regulatory requirements while driving data enablement for the business. The manager will partner with PDPE leadership to define and execute a consumer-centric approach for data collection, consent, and privacy controls, seamlessly integrating these solutions into our complex data ecosystem. This role requires developing strong partnerships across disciplines to create solutions that add value for the organization and enable product teams by abstracting foundational privacy needs.

Requirements

Proven experience in building privacy and/or security solutions, preferably in a large scale, data driven environment.
Deep understanding of privacy and security frameworks, data classification, data protection controls, and records retention.
Strategic and pragmatic thinking for product strategy roadmaps to improve existing tooling for privacy rights management, metadata catalog management, and scaling privacy solutions across the enterprise.
Comfort with driving technical decisions in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment with competing priorities.
Previous experience as a hands-on individual contributor, bringing deep technical credibility and practical insight to leadership decisions.
System design and full stack development background with ability to delegate and empower team members with ownership.
Built tools for consent management, data use limitations, and/or data protection controls across the data life cycle.
Effective cross-functional collaborator with a demonstrated ability to build strong partnerships and prioritize privacy initiatives across engineering, product, legal and security teams.
Demonstrated experience using structured discovery of privacy gaps to inform prioritization and justify investment in mature privacy remediation programs.
