About The Role

Our Privacy team helps clients build, operationalize, and scale their privacy programs by combining deep privacy expertise with hands-on technical capabilities. Our services include privacy program development, regulatory compliance, privacy technology implementation, and data governance for clients across all major markets around the world.

We are currently looking for a driven, technically minded Consultant to join our dedicated Privacy team, a specialized group working at the intersection of privacy and technology. This is a privacy engineering–focused position. The Consultant will support the development of integrations and automations within privacy technology platforms, build solutions for conducting web crawling to identify tracking technologies (e.g., cookies, pixels, and tags), and support data architecture projects, including data integrations with cloud data platforms such as Snowflake and Databricks. The role also includes the hands-on configuration and implementation of privacy management platforms (e.g., OneTrust, TrustArc, Ketch), including Data Inventory and Mapping solutions, Consent Management Platforms, and Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) systems.

Although we are looking for a strong technical resource, the successful candidate must also be comfortable with the broader aspects of privacy consulting, including project management, privacy assessments, policy development, monitoring regulatory developments, and presenting results and recommendations to clients. Given the diverse nature of the work, we are looking for someone who has flexibility, a go-getter mentality, and is willing to learn and work across different offerings and industries. This is a very hands-on position, requiring a high level of organization and technical curiosity.

What You'll Do

In this role, the Consultant will develop an understanding of clients' objectives and the evolving privacy regulatory landscape to help design and deliver privacy solutions that combine technical implementation with sound program strategy. Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Support the configuration and implementation of privacy management platforms (e.g., OneTrust, TrustArc, Ketch), including Data Inventory and Mapping, Consent Management Platforms (CMPs), Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) workflows, vendor and third-party risk management portals, and privacy notice and policy management tools;

• Support data architecture projects, including integrations between third-party systems and cloud data platforms such as Snowflake and Databricks to consolidate source data, apply business transformations, and enable downstream analytics and operational use;

• Conduct technical testing of website consent and tracking technologies, including capturing and analyzing network traffic (e.g., HAR files) across defined user journeys and consent scenarios (e.g., "Reject All," Global Privacy Control), identifying cookies and other browser storage, determining whether tags and scripts transmit data to third parties after consent is rejected, documenting findings and risk prioritization in client-ready reports, and supporting remediation such as consent management platform and tag manager configuration and post-remediation retesting;

• Prepare client deliverables (e.g., privacy assessments, gap analysis reports, policies and procedures, strategic memos, and presentations) and help present findings and recommendations to clients, under the direction of senior team members;

• Monitor U.S. federal, state, and international privacy developments (e.g., CCPA, HIPAA, GDPR) and help assess their impact on client programs;

• Deliver high-quality work focused on client needs;

• Demonstrate a high level of integrity and ask the necessary questions to manage firm and client data responsibly.

How You'll Grow

This is a great opportunity to strengthen your understanding of how privacy consulting may be applied across various business sectors and use this knowledge to help build best-in-class programs.
