• 4+ years of dedicated experience managing data privacy programs, ideally within a high-growth fintech, e-commerce, or SaaS environment operating in both the US and Canada.
• Strong working knowledge of major North American privacy frameworks (CCPA/CPRA, TCPA, GLBA, PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25) and a sharp knack for translating complex legal mandates into clear, actionable business processes.
• High emotional intelligence (EQ) with the ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders alike, bridging the gap between engineering requirements and compliance guardrails.

• Manage Data Mapping & Rights: Oversee data inventory and mapping initiatives to track the lifecycle of consumer information, while managing the automation and fulfillment of consumer data access, deletion, and opt-out requests.
