You'll be 's embedded data privacy advisor: the person product, engineering, and customer-facing teams turn to when a data or privacy question needs a real answer. This is a fractional role (starting at roughly 2 days a week in-office), working closely alongside our Legal Ops Associate.
The focus for this role will be translating legal and technical complexity into commercially-focused, actionable responses to help free up teams to move quickly. In practice, this could be advising the product team on what compliance actions we need to take ahead of a new product release, making case-by-case decisions for customers with unique compliance requirements, or conducting analysis on customer DPAs ahead of a change to data processing locations, right through to how to answer a client's questions about our AI features.
This isn't a standardise-everything-and-leave role. We work with customers around the world in regulated industries (legal, finance, accountancy, corporate) with varying compliance needs, where one-size-fits-all templates aren't always an option and we need to adopt a flexible approach. The work here is genuinely ongoing, nuanced, and advisory rather than a project with an end date.

High ownership balanced with genuine collaboration, and able to build consensus
Comfort with a fractional working pattern - broadly protected days, with the pragmatic flexibility to handle something urgent (like a data incident) outside them
If you find the letter-of-the-law side of privacy the least interesting part of the job, and you're energised instead by being commercial, pragmatic, and embedded in a fast-moving business — this is for you. You'll get real autonomy and visibility across the company, working directly with product, engineering, and customer teams, rather than being buried in reactive, box-ticking compliance work.
