Technical Privacy Consultant

About the Role

Our client, a boutique data privacy consulting firm, is seeking a highly skilled Technical Privacy Consultant on a contract basis to partner with high-level clients in transforming complex privacy regulations into practical, tailored technical solutions. You’ll lead the implementation of OneTrust and other privacy tools, integrate them with enterprise systems, and ensure compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other US state privacy laws. This is a unique opportunity to work directly with the firm’s founder, collaborate with a close-knit and innovative team, and make a measurable impact on how organizations protect and manage their data. Candidates must be hands-on and technical in OneTrust - doing custom implementations, connecting via APIs, and troubleshooting issues. This role is fully remote with the potential to convert to full-time employment, however it will begin as fractional contract support. This client is not able to hire in California or New York.
