Job Description

Facebook is seeking an experienced privacy professional with experience in operational data protection and/or privacy audit to join the Office of the DPO Data Integrity team. The mission of the Data Integrity team is to regularly assess privacy risks to European users, and to conduct deep-dive reviews of key privacy topics. The team has a great deal of autonomy and this individual will need to have the experience and judgement to set their own agenda and drive large, cross-functional projects to completion in a timely manner. This is a full-time position. The ideal candidate will bring a mix of operational experience (running large, cross-functional projects in multi-national firms), privacy experience (familiarity with GDPR is critical) and technical familiarity (comfort discussing the basics of data processing technologies). The individual must have the ability to work independently and build strong collaborative relationships across a largely virtual extended team. They need to be a strong communicator, comfortable dissecting complex topics about the intersection of law, policy, technology, operations and data ethics. Lastly, we are looking for someone with a passion for privacy, a can-do spirit, deep curiosity about how Facebook technologies and processes work, and a natural sense of urgency. Facebook welcomes applications from the widest range of individuals eligible to apply and particularly encourages applications from those who would increase the diversity of the company.
