We are seeking a Privacy Compliance Coordinator to support the organization’s digital and privacy compliance initiatives. This role focuses on intake, tracking, documentation, and follow-up across privacy activities and works closely with Legal, IT, Operations, HR, and Commercial teams to ensure privacy obligations are documented and progressing.

This is an operational support role, not a legal advisory position. The role plays a key part in helping operationalize existing privacy policies, supporting vendor due diligence, and maintaining clear, auditable records.

Responsibilities

• Maintain organized records and documentation for privacy and compliance activities
• Support data mapping and data inventory updates using provided templates
• Coordinate and track privacy impact assessments (DPIAs), including status, inputs, and implementation of approved controls and notices
• Follow up with internal teams to collect required information and documentation
• Maintain trackers for projects, vendors, and privacy actions
• Support preparation of metrics, dashboards, and status reports
• Coordinate vendor due diligence and audit requests, collect documentation, and track follow-up actions
• Organize evidence for audits, leadership reporting, or regulatory inquiries

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Paralegal Studies, Business Administration, or related field
• 2+ years of experience in privacy compliance support, legal operations, HR operations, compliance, or IT governance
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable coordinating across cross-functional teams
• Excellent organizational and documentation discipline
• Strong proficiency in Excel (filters, formulas, tracking), SharePoint, and document management systems
• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA/CPRA) is a plus
• Paralegal certification or privacy certification (CIPP) a plus
• Exposure to vendor risk management or audit coordination
• Exposure to emerging technologies (AI, biometrics, surveillance) helpful but not required

This role supports the execution and documentation of privacy compliance activities and does not provide legal advice or make legal risk determinations.
