• Engineering solutions for privacy compliance, such as technical workflows for handling data subject rights, automated data mapping, data minimization techniques, and secure data transfers.
• Collaborating with project, operational, and development teams to translate complex privacy requirements into actionable requirements.
• Supporting and evangelizing privacy-by-default practices, ensuring proactive embedding of compliance controls within the business including DevOps processes and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
• Developing scripts and automated processes to facilitate proactive compliance monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident detection.
• Providing technical expertise and guidance to engineers, developers, and technical stakeholders on data anonymization, pseudonymization, and other technical elements aligned with global privacy standards.
• Partnering closely with security and data architecture teams to ensure that privacy controls are robust, operationally efficient, and demonstrably compliant with regulatory requirements.
• Supporting vendor integrations and assessments, particularly reviewing and advising on technical aspects of Data Processing Agreements and related solutions.
• Creating and maintain technical privacy compliance documentation and guidelines for engineers and other stakeholders, clearly outlining privacy requirements for compliance at a technical level.
• Providing timely and accurate information to Senior team members to support internal and external reporting requirements.
• Ensuring that all personal data processing by Hard Rock Digital is compliant with applicable laws and regulations.
• Continually monitoring developments in relevant law, caselaw, and other sources to improve your knowledge and make recommendations to ensure compliance.
• Assurance monitoring and auditing of business policy and internal controls.
• Championing technical implementation of privacy controls within our product ecosystem and tech stack, including privacy by design in APIs, microservices, cloud deployments, and other data-processing architectures.
