We are looking for an experienced Senior Privacy Consultant to lead and build a privacy consulting practice while delivering end-to-end privacy compliance engagements for enterprise customers. This is a hands-on leadership role that combines regulatory expertise, technical understanding, and consulting excellence to bridge the gap between privacy regulations and technology implementation.
The ideal candidate will work closely with customer privacy teams, legal stakeholders, engineering teams, and solution architects to translate regulatory obligations into implementation-ready deliverables. This role operates in two modes—collaborating alongside customer privacy consultants where available and independently leading privacy assessments where no dedicated privacy partner exists.
Beyond client delivery, this individual will play a key role in establishing consulting methodologies, developing reusable frameworks, mentoring consultants, and building a scalable privacy practice.
