The Job
Legal and Compliance are partners across the whole business here at Flo. They watch over everything: Flo’s privacy programme, compliance with regulatory obligations, contract management, IP enforcement… you name it.
The team’s divided into three groups - Privacy & Data Protection, Regulatory & Compliance, and Legal Services, each managing its own area.
This role’s all about delivering on Flo’s continued commitment to data privacy by design. It’s a senior counsel position reporting directly to our new VP of Privacy and sits as part of a team of six doing some really exciting work.
Having recently achieved our ISO 27001 re-certification (the first business of our kind with it!), we’re pressing ahead with ISO 27701 as a next step. On top of that, we’ve just launched Anonymous mode (and made it open source) - a hugely important feature for our users, and one which this role will be key in supporting.
It doesn’t end there though, and this position will be key in enhancing DSARs, reviewing privacy policies and systems, and helping to ensure privacy by design and as default across all areas of our business.

What you'll be doing

- Develop and maintain global privacy policies and procedures
- Provide privacy and data protection advice to the business (special focus on worldwide data driven initiatives)
- Give guidance to ensure data protection is baked into the design, build, test and deployment stages across activities and departments

- With support of the team, undertake data protection audits and reviews
- Assist with the creation and delivery of staff training in privacy best practice to all entities and affiliates (with a particular focus on digital data uses)

- Support our technology and information security teams on cyber security, data privacy and data ownership

Your targets will be:
