About the Role:

Dr. Squatch is looking for an Associate Director of Cybersecurity, Privacy & IT to lead three connected functions: our security program, our privacy compliance program, and the internal technology our employees use every day. You'll own the strategy, and the team for all three.

As part of Unilever, we now operate against a global control framework, and a meaningful share of this role is integration work: mapping our controls to enterprise standards, participating in assessment and reporting cycles, aligning identity, endpoint, and third‑party risk practices, and translating between a global program and a business that still runs at startup speed. Doing that well, protecting the company without slowing it down, is the core challenge of the job.

This role will also continue to drive the security strategy and represent Dr. Squatch in enterprise‑level security and privacy governance. You'll sit on the Technology leadership team alongside data engineering, analytics, and business systems, partner closely with eCommerce, marketing, and legal, and present directly to our executive team on risk, incidents, and investment decisions.

This role reports to the Sr. Director, Data & Technology.

This is a full‑time, hybrid role based in Marina Del Rey, CA.

The anticipated base compensation range for this role will be $190,000 to $215,000. Compensation will be commensurate with the candidate's experience and local market rates.

What You'll Do:

• Cybersecurity program
  • Maintain the cybersecurity risk register: identify risks to our data and systems, assess likelihood and impact, and prioritize what gets addressed first.
  • Own the multi‑year security roadmap.
  • Evaluate, select, implement, and operate security tooling across endpoint, email, identity, cloud, and application layers.
  • Monitor and triage vulnerabilities and emerging threats; drive remediation to completion with the teams that own the systems.
  • Manage our MDR and incident response partners, and own the incident response plan, including tabletop exercises and post‑incident reviews.
  • Run security awareness training and phishing simulation for employees and contractors.
• IT and identity
  • Lead the IT function and manage the IT Manager by setting priorities and service expectations, and actively developing them toward broader ownership of IT operations over time.
  • Own identity and access management end to end via SSO, MFA, provisioning and deprovisioning, and periodic access reviews across our SaaS estate.
  • Own endpoint management and device lifecycle, from procurement through secure decommissioning.
  • Set the standard for IT support responsiveness and make sure onboarding and offboarding are fast, complete, and auditable.
  • Own SaaS governance: what tools we use, who approves them, how they’re reviewed for security, and what happens to the data in them.
• Privacy and data protection
  • Own our privacy compliance program across CCPA/CPRA, other US state privacy laws, and UK and EU GDPR.
  • Run consumer rights request intake and fulfillment with Customer Support, and keep the process defensible as volume grows.
  • Maintain data mapping, records of processing, retention schedules, and…
