Job Description

We are seeking a highly accomplished and authoritative Senior Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) Specialist for an enterprise-level contract opportunity based in Toronto. In this role, you will take on a premier leadership capacity to oversee, design, and execute comprehensive Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) that evaluate whether new technologies, complex information systems, and digital initiatives meet all governing legal and policy privacy frameworks. As a principal privacy strategist, you will bridge the gap between technical system architecture and legislative compliance. Operating entirely onsite, you will evaluate sophisticated cloud, web, and mobile solutions, identify structural data risks, and develop robust mitigation strategies. This role demands an expert who can confidently direct discovery sessions, manage multiple concurrent privacy streams, and translate complex compliance mandates into actionable guidance for senior executives and technology partners.

Job Responsibility

  • PIA Technical Leadership: Lead and manage the end-to-end development of comprehensive Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) to evaluate whether new software, platforms, programs, or corporate policies meet absolute statutory privacy requirements
  • Risk Mitigation Engineering: Analyze current and future privacy implications for business designs, systematically identifying operational data risks, vulnerabilities, and authoring formal risk countermeasure playbooks
  • Legislative Compliance Guarding: Ensure all technical platforms and programs comply with provincial, municipal, federal, and private-sector privacy laws, relevant regulations, and internationally accepted Fair Information Practices
  • Digital Solution Assessment: Lead privacy reviews for modern online, cloud-hosted, and mobile application solutions, focusing heavily on security approaches, data encryption, and local protection frameworks
  • Integration & Architecture Review: Assess privacy risks associated with data synchronization and backend integrations via APIs connecting legacy environments to third-party or private-sector applications
  • Data Flow & Blueprint Analysis: Interpret both technical and non-technical documentation, including architectural design documents, state transition diagrams, system interfaces, and data flow models
  • Stakeholder Engagement & Discovery: Lead cross-functional discovery workshops with technical architects, developers, legal analysts, and business teams to elicit precise technical configurations and operational workflows
  • Executive Presentation & Reporting: Document clear assessment findings and present strategic compliance recommendations to executive leadership to inform high-level corporate decision-making
  • Records Governance Lifecycle: Align system designs with strict records management policies, ensuring proper data classification, retention schedules, and secure disposition parameters

Requirements

  • Statutory Framework Mastery: Deep operational knowledge and hands-on experience interpreting and applying privacy legislation, specifically including FIPPA, PHIPA, and PIPEDA, alongside related jurisprudence
  • Privacy Assessment Depth: Extensive track record leading complex Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) within the public sector or large, highly regulated multi-stakeholder corporate settings
  • Digital Identity Frameworks: Practical experience evaluating or developing digital identity trust frameworks (such as PCTF, eIDAS) and standard protocols (NIST, FIDO, OpenID Connect, SAML)
  • Healthcare & Third-Party Domain Insight: Direct experience managing assessments that involve personal health information handled by third-party vendor applications or service integration providers
  • Architecture Interrogation: Strong ability to analyze technical system diagrams, database interfaces, data transfer methodologies, and information security encryption standards
  • Mobile & Cloud Platform Savvy: Deep understanding of the unique security and privacy constraints associated with mobile applications, cloud infrastructures, and native or third-party digital wallet technologies
  • Records Management: Solid understanding of institutional records management practices, including information classification, retention rules, and digital accessibility compliance standards (AODA)
  • Workshop Facilitation: Elite communication skills with a proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams through complex technical discovery sessions
  • Analytical Problem Solving: Superior critical thinking skills to interpret intricate technical setups and translate them into simplified, fact-based risk summaries for non-privacy experts
  • Desirable Credentials: Active professional certifications in related disciplines (e.g., IAPP CIPP/C, technical architecture, or information security designations) are highly valued
