Senior Privacy Consultant (DPO Advisory)

Lead delivery of DPIAs, ROPA build-outs, privacy program gap assessments, GDPR/DPDP/EU AI Act compliance programs, cross-border transfer assessments (SCCs, adequacy), and privacy notice/policy reviews.

Serve as Sprinto's internal authority on evolving privacy regulation: GDPR enforcement trends, India's DPDP Rules, EU AI Act phased obligations, US state privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, etc.), and other regional frameworks (PDPL, PIPL) as customer demand requires.

Build and maintain DPIA templates, ROPA templates, legitimate interest assessment frameworks, and AI governance/impact assessment templates mapped to EU AI Act risk tiers.

Define packaging for privacy services (e.g., DPIA-as-a-service, ROPA sprint, privacy program build fixed-fee tiers).

Own pricing, margin, and utilization on your engagement book; forecast capacity for privacy demand.

Partner with Sales/SE/CS on privacy-attach opportunities.

Build AI-assisted DPIA/ROPA generation playbooks with mandatory human validation gates — privacy work carries more interpretive and liability weight than technical control mapping, so review gates should be heavier, not lighter.

Define explicit boundaries/disclaimers: this role provides regulatory/program guidance, not legal advice. Know when to tell a customer to get outside counsel, and don't blur that line under deal pressure.

Support customers navigating regulator inquiries or breach-notification timelines in an advisory capacity only.

5+ years in privacy consulting, DPO/privacy office roles, or in-house privacy program ownership.

Hands-on DPIA and ROPA delivery at scale — not just policy drafting.

Deep: GDPR, India's DPDP Act.

Working knowledge: EU AI Act, US state privacy laws, and awareness of other regional frameworks (PDPL, PIPL).

Legal background (JD/LLM, or paralegal/compliance-law experience) — enough to read and interpret regulatory text independently for routine questions. Not a requirement; treat as a differentiator, not a filter, given how narrow this combination is in the market.

Demonstrated use of AI tools to reduce manual effort and standardize deliverables.

Able to translate domain expertise into reusable templates and guided systems.

Comfortable owning pricing/margin for a specialized, judgment-heavy service line.

Excellent written communication; confident handling ambiguous regulatory questions in live customer settings.

IAPP certifications (CIPP/E, CIPM, CIPT, FIP), formal DPO certification.

Utilization % and gross margin on privacy engagements.

Regulatory-change responsiveness — time to update playbooks after new guidance/rules land.

QA pass rate, rework rate, CSAT.

Attach rate for privacy services; deal-unblock impact where privacy expertise was the gating factor.
