Reviewing marketing and growth initiatives for privacy compliance (tracking technologies, attribution, analytics, ad-tech, emails/SMS, website landings, funnels)
Supporting vendor and partnership privacy: drafting/reviewing DPAs, data transfer mechanisms, and negotiating privacy clauses in commercial agreements
Supporting data subject requests (access/deletion/portability, etc.) and building scalable internal processes together with product and support teams
Monitoring and communicating privacy regulatory developments, raising stakeholders’ awareness, and proposing practical implementation steps
Creating training materials and delivering privacy education to product, marketing, customer support, and leadership teams

Familiarity with US privacy and health-data adjacent requirements relevant to consumer apps (e.g., state privacy laws, FTC expectations, ad-tech/privacy enforcement trends)
Experience with cookies/trackers, consent tools, mobile SDK governance, and privacy in growth/marketing
