Role overviewWe're looking for a Senior Privacy Counsel based in Vancouver to join our global Privacy Team. The role has two core focus areas:
- Cybersecurity. You'll be a central member of Match Group's incident response team by providing guidance on breach assessments, regulatory notification obligations, and incident handling strategy across all jurisdictions globally. Incidents are unpredictable and time-sensitive; when one hits, this work takes priority.
- Global emerging privacy, cyber, and data regulation. You'll lead the team's forward-looking work on new laws, regulatory guidance, enforcement decisions, and court rulings, including in fast-moving areas like AI. This work runs on longer timelines, which means it flexes around incident response when needed.
Beyond these two focus areas, you'll be a full member of the Privacy Team and pitch in on the day-to-day work that keeps a global privacy program running. That means everything from developing internal guidance and playbooks to supporting privacy assessments, audits, and cross-functional governance work. It's the kind of role where your core focus is clear, but no two weeks look exactly the same.
When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life (IRL). We think the same is true for creating the best teams, so this hybrid role will have you in our beautiful new office three days a week (spoiler alert: it features a barista, stunning views and regular happy hours).
