Data privacy analyst

A data privacy analyst makes sure an organization handles personal data lawfully and responsibly. They assess how data is collected, stored, and used, identify privacy risks, ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA, develop policies and controls, respond to data requests and breaches, and advise teams on building privacy into their products.

The role blends knowledge of privacy law, data practices, and risk management, sitting between legal, security, and engineering. Analysts work across industries, especially those handling large amounts of personal data.

The job suits detail-oriented people who care about protecting individuals' data and can translate complex regulations into concrete practices teams can follow.
