  • Own the cross-brand roadmap for privacy-by-design initiatives across multi-platform platforms, data warehouses, identity systems, and streaming applications.
  • Partner directly with data engineering, ad tech, and product teams to embed privacy controls into system architecture, data flows, and consent infrastructure.
  • Drive technical implementation of consent and preference management, cookie/SDK governance, and identity resolution controls across CTV/OTT, mobile, and web.
  • Develop, own and manage the privacy testing automation suite product across engineering groups, ensuring uniformity across brands, platforms and delivery
  • Direct OneTrust configuration and integration work from a technical standpoint

Cross-Functional Delivery
  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact between the Privacy/Legal team and Engineering, removing ambiguity in how policy requirements get built and shipped.
  • Manage sprint planning, backlog prioritization, and delivery timelines for privacy engineering initiatives.
  • Run technical reviews of new features and data flows in partnership with the VP of Privacy, flagging architecture-level risks before launch.
  • Direct OneTrust configuration and integration work from a technical standpoint

Streaming, Subscription & Adtech
  • Own technical requirements for VPPA-compliant handling of viewing data and subscriber information across SVOD, AVOD, and hybrid models.
  • Define and build technical solutions for ad targeting, attribution, personalization, and cross-device identity that satisfy state-law opt-out/consent requirements.
  • Build and maintain technical controls for account hierarchies/households, content recommendations, and churn/retention analytics that meet privacy requirements.
  • Manage opt-out mechanisms and sensitive-data restrictions within ad-supported streaming (AVOD/FAST) workflows.

Metrics & Reporting
  • Build and maintain technical KPIs/dashboards.

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field required.
  • 6+ years in technical product management, with 3+ years working on data privacy, data governance, or trust & safety initiatives ideally in digital media, streaming, or subscription businesses.
  • Previous engineering or data engineering experience is preferred
  • Hands-on experience translating legal/regulatory requirements into engineering specs and shipped product.
  • Expert knowledge of OneTrust or comparable privacy management platforms; comfortable partnering on technical configuration, not just policy administration.
  • Deep understanding of VPPA and U.S. state privacy laws (CA, CO, VA, etc.) as they apply to targeting, cross-context behavioral advertising, and data architecture.
  • Experience working with data engineering teams on data mapping, identity systems, and consent infrastructure at scale.
  • CIPT certification is a plus (not required).
