Full description
Snap Inc is a technology company. We believe the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Snap contributes to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together.
The Company operates Snapchat, a visual messaging app that enhances your relationships with friends, family, and the world, and Specs Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to making computing more human, in addition to Bitmoji, Saturn, and other digital services.
Snap Engineering teams build fun and technically sophisticated products that reach hundreds of millions of Snapchatters around the world, every day.

You will turn ambiguous privacy and security priorities into clear operating models, roadmaps, controls, execution plans, and measurable outcomes. You will partner with Engineering, Product, Infrastructure, Legal, Compliance, Security, and business teams to make the right work visible, actionable, and sustainable.
The role supports the full lifecycle of privacy and security risk: identifying signals, establishing ownership, defining requirements, prioritizing work, driving adoption, validating outcomes, and communicating decisions and residual risk to leadership
.
What you’ll do
Own the cross-functional privacy and data governance, translating strategy into priorities, roadmaps, and execution plans.
Build operating mechanisms for intake, prioritization, decision-making, escalation, dependency management, exceptions, and closure.
Drive privacy-by-design programs that define data use, retention, access, sharing, minimization, and control requirements early in the lifecycle.
Coordinate material reviews and clarify technical feasibility, required approvals, controls, decision rights, and ownership.
Lead complex, company-wide programs through rollout, adoption, measurement, and continuous improvement.
Provide leadership visibility, resolve blockers, and automate program workflows where appropriate.
Knowledge, skills, and abilities
Strong understanding of privacy engineering, data governance, information security, and risk management.
Proven experience leading complex, cross-functional technical programs in privacy engineering, data governance, security, data, infrastructure, or platform environments.
