• Monitor legal and regulatory developments in privacy laws, guidance, and best practices across Bolt’s markets, proactively identifying compliance gaps and remediation needs.
• Support day-to-day privacy compliance, including Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), data subject rights requests, privacy mailbox monitoring, and maintaining mandatory registrations, DPO details, and records of processing activities.
• Advise the Privacy Legal Team on features, projects, and initiatives involving personal data, providing clear and practical guidance.
• Maintain and enhance Bolt’s privacy framework, including internal privacy policies, procedures, and mandatory audits.
• Deliver training and awareness initiatives to internal teams, helping promote the Privacy Team as a centre of excellence within Bolt.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, Public Policy, Finance, Tax, Customer Support, Marketing, and other teams to ensure consistent, holistic privacy guidance across the business.

About You

• You have at least 2 years of experience specialising in privacy within a law firm, regulator, and/or international company.
• You communicate excellently in English, both in writing and verbally, and can convey complex topics clearly.
• You bring a solution-oriented approach, strong analytical skills, and the ability to work independently, proactively, and collaboratively across multiple jurisdictions.
• You are well-organised, able to prioritise effectively, and consistently deliver work on time.
• You ideally have completed a legal qualification and/or hold recognised data protection certifications such as IAPP CIPP/E.
• You may also have experience in regulatory or breach investigations and direct engagement with data protection regulators.
