- AI Governance: Support the rollout and governance of AI‑enabled technologies, ensuring responsible and compliant implementation.
- Advisory & Guidance: Provide clear guidance to stakeholders on data protection, privacy‑by‑design, marketing consent, cookies, and AI‑related risks.
- Training & Awareness: Develop and deliver training and documentation to improve privacy awareness and AI literacy across the organisation.
- Process Improvement: Identify opportunities to streamline and automate privacy operations, improving efficiency and scalability.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Work cross‑functionally with Product, Engineering, Legal, Risk, Compliance, Procurement, and Security teams to balance business needs with privacy requirements.
- Risk & Compliance Monitoring: Conduct reassessments of high and medium‑risk processing activities and support ongoing compliance efforts.
- Legal & Research Support: Assist Data Privacy Counsel and Legal teams with research and regulatory interpretation.
