Privacy Compliance Evaluator - Expert

Simon-Kucher is looking for a Senior Manager, Information Compliance - AI Governance & Privacy to join our Legal, Compliance & Risk function as part of the Information Compliance Team.

This role sits in the Information Compliance Team and reports into the Head of Information Compliance, with a dotted reporting line to the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). The team works across AI compliance, information security, privacy, and governance topics to help protect client, company, and personal data while enabling responsible technology adoption.

This is a senior individual contributor role for a professional with a hybrid profile: privacy and AI governance expertise, legal/compliance judgment, and strong technical fluency. You will not be expected to be a full-time software engineer, but you must be credible in technical design discussions with data scientists, AI engineers, product owners, cloud/platform teams, IT, security, and client project teams.

Your focus will be to ensure that AI tools, solutions, platforms, and products are developed and used responsibly, securely, and in line with statutory requirements, client confidentiality obligations, contractual commitments, and internal policies, standards, and procedures.

This is not a policy-only compliance role. We are looking for someone who enjoys getting close to the technology, understanding how systems actually work, and translating requirements into practical controls, implementation guidance, and scalable governance patterns that teams can use.

How you will create an impact:

    . Help teams build and use AI-enabled tools, products, platforms, and workflows in a compliant, secure, and responsible way from the start.
  • Translate requirements into technical controls
    . Convert privacy, AI governance, client confidentiality, information security, contractual, and internal policy requirements into actionable technical controls, implementation standards, and security guardrails.
  • Review technical designs and data flows
    . Assess architecture diagrams, data-flow diagrams, AI workflow designs, vendor/tool documentation, integration patterns, cloud/SaaS configurations, and product requirements to identify risk and recommend controls.
  • Advise on privacy and security control implementation
    . Provide practical guidance on controls such as identity and access management, role-based access, data classification, encryption, retention and deletion, logging and monitoring, DLP, auditability, human oversight, and secure AI use.
