We empower thousands of digitally-focused companies to deliver outcomes and exceptional campaign performance everyday. StackAdapt was founded with a vision to be more than an advertising platform, it’s a hub of innovation, imagination and creativity.

As a Privacy Analyst reporting to the Global Privacy Counsel, you’ll be directly involved in supporting and developing StackAdapt’s privacy program to ensure compliance with privacy laws, mitigate risk, and build trust with our customers and consumers.

This role requires a solid understanding of core data protection activities, including incident response, privacy impact assessments, records of processing, records management, and subject access requests. Success in this role will depend on your ability to think creatively, collaborate closely with others, and approach challenges with a proactive mindset. You’ll play a key role in implementing strategic data protection initiatives across the organization, helping to unify central business and technology groups.

• Facilitate updates to external privacy facing materials (e.g., privacy notice, cookie banners)

What you’ll bring to the table:

• Practical, business-minded professional with 1-3 years of privacy, legal operations, or similar experience.
