• Exceptional collaboration, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• Strong ability to influence without authority, negotiate to positive outcomes, and gain buy-in from partner teams on large-scale initiatives.
• Ability to thoughtfully evaluate and find an appropriate balance between privacy excellence goals, legal and compliance requirements, technical capabilities/limitations, and business needs
• Willingness to take full ownership and skillfully manage competing priorities, anticipate issues, and proactively drive resolution
• CIPP/US, CIPP/EU, CIPM, or CIPT privacy certification a plus, but not required

What you can expect:

• Collaborate cross-functionally with teams across the company to ensure that privacy is built into our infrastructure, products, services, and processes by design.
• Build strong relationships with partner and stakeholder teams in order to advise on product launches and collaboratively develop technical solutions to privacy challenges.
• Develop and implement scalable programs, processes, tools, and infrastructure to make achieving privacy excellence easy and fast for teams.
• Advise on the technical design and application of novel privacy technologies and solutions, such as data tagging taxonomies, differential privacy implementations, anonymization/pseudonymization methodologies, etc.
• Dive deep into product tech stack, review engineering design specs and code, and conduct privacy assessments of the highest risk areas of the business to develop nuanced technical proposals to solve privacy issues.
• Partner closely with legal counsel to understand privacy risk and develop technical solutions that ensure compliance with state and international privacy laws.
• Drive development and adoption of company-wide internal privacy policies and guidelines that reinforce 1Password’s strong culture of privacy and security.
