AdTech Privacy Technical Analyst (AdTech & MarTech, Privacy & Consent)
Contract | Outside IR35 | London & Remote Hybrid
We're looking for a hands-on AdTech Privacy Technical Analyst with strong QA experience to test and assure consent compliance across a portfolio of consumer mobile apps, with a wider device estate to follow.
Focus will be on intercepting network calls of apps, connected devices and Internet of Things and auditing HTTP Archive (HAR) logs, using Proxyman, Charles Proxy and Fiddler as the main tools. You'll confirm that cookies and equivalent marketing and tracking technologies respect customer consent choices, and you'll help app teams test for themselves.
The role has two parts: defining a repeatable self-testing process for delivery teams, and providing second line assurance by independently verifying their results where technically possible.
Key Responsibilities
Consent Testing & Traffic Auditing
Test cookies and equivalent tracking technologies in iOS and Android apps to confirm consent preferences are honoured before, during and after user interaction, including withdrawal of consent.
Intercept and inspect network traffic using Proxyman, Charles Proxy and Fiddler (with Burp Suite as required), working from published app store builds and from test builds.
Capture and audit HAR logs to identify tracking calls, identifiers, payloads and third-party endpoints.
Use Android Logcat and Xcode Console to gather supporting evidence where HAR files are incomplete or certificate pinning limits visibility.
Inspect SDKs and app packages using tools such as MobSF and APK Analyzer to identify undeclared or non-compliant tracking.
Self-Testing Framework & Assurance
Define and document a repeatable self-testing process that app teams can follow, including guidance on producing HAR evidence from their own testing.
Review HAR logs supplied by teams, including analysis within ObservePoint, and challenge gaps or inconsistencies.
Run independent second line verification of team results, from published app store versions where possible.
Agree test builds with engineering where HTTPS inspection needs certificate pinning disabled or the proxy trusted.
Extend the approach to connected devices and IoT products as the device scope ...
