• Establish and strengthen GDPR/privacy capabilities, including policies, records of processing activities, standard processes, and credible external documentation
• Embed security and privacy into Product, Engineering, and Cloud Operations, ensuring standards are reflected in development, platform, and operational practices

• A strong track record of standardizing security and privacy across decentralized organizations and translating executive expectations into pragmatic operating models

• Strong practical understanding of SaaS and cloud security, with experience embedding security into Product, Engineering, and Cloud Operations rather than running it as a separate function
• Solid GDPR/privacy expertise in software or platform businesses, including customer-facing communication, compliance documentation, questionnaires, and DPO-related processes
