About

The Role We provide our clients with a comprehensive view of cybersecurity and privacy consulting that leverages our integrated suite of services, spanning privacy program development and management, regulatory readiness and compliance, data protection assessments, privacy technology implementation, and data governance, across all major markets around the world. Our team works at the intersection of privacy and technology, advising clients on complex regulatory landscapes while delivering hands-on, practical solutions.

We are looking for a Director to join our Privacy team within the Cybersecurity practice in a hands-on delivery and project management role. You will execute privacy consulting and advisory engagements  supporting risk assessments, regulatory readiness and compliance, data governance, program and policy development, and the configuration and implementation of privacy management platforms.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter with a practical, problem-solving mindset and the flexibility to work across diverse industries and subject areas, including emerging privacy technologies such as Data Inventory and Mapping solutions, Consent Management Platforms, and Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) systems. This role emphasizes doing the work: conducting assessments, configuring privacy tools, analyzing findings, and preparing client-ready deliverables. It requires strong organizational and project management skills, applied privacy knowledge, and technical curiosity.

You should be comfortable independently completing agreed-upon tasks, coordinating defined work streams, and communicating directly with clients, with regular guidance and review from senior engagement leaders.
