Job Description
Senior Privacy Analyst building Canadian ROPA programs for a global retailer. Documenting data practices across business units and adapting global privacy structures for Canada.
Responsibilities:
- Build a Canadian Records of Processing Activities (ROPA) program largely from the ground up for a large global retailer's Canadian operations.
- Partner directly with the client's privacy engineering team.
- Lead discovery and requirements-gathering sessions with stakeholders across approximately 10–12 business units.
- Document each business unit's systems, processes, and data handling practices.
- Draft and maintain ROPA entries using established templates.
- Adapt existing global ROPA structures to reflect Canada-specific business processes.
- Track and follow up on outstanding items across 24+ stakeholders.
- Maintain visibility into what is needed, from whom, and by when.
- Communicate directly with senior business stakeholders, including VP-level contacts.
- Participate in daily standups to report progress, plans, and blockers.
- Keep program leadership copied on business-facing communications.
- Recognize scope boundaries for each ROPA entry and flag items extending beyond the intended process.
Requirements:
- Proven, hands-on experience building or maintaining ROPAs in a North American context (US, Canada, Mexico, or similar).
- Prior experience operating at a senior analyst or engineer level within a privacy or GRC program.
- Experience owning and driving ROPA-building work directly, not solely contributing as a business subject matter expert.
- Comfort and professionalism engaging directly with senior stakeholders, including VPs, without requiring coaching on communication style.
- Strong organizational skills and self-driven follow-up habits.
- Ability to track outstanding items at a granular, per-entry level across many concurrent stakeholders.
- Familiarity with Quebec Law 25 or similar principle-based privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR) is a plus, not required.
- Comfortable working independently with light day-to-day oversight while maintaining consistent visibility and communication with leadership.
- Experience standing up a ROPA or privacy program in a new market or region from scratch is desirable.
- Background working within large, complex, multi-line-of-business organizations is desirable.
- Experience in a consulting or client-facing capacity is desirable.
- Comfort with a defined-duration engagement and flexibility to scope your own workload independently is desirable.
Benefits:
- Medical, dental, vision, and pharmaceutical coverage.
- An education stipend of $2,000 annually to put towards your own growth and development.
- 401(k) and life insurance benefits.
- 3 weeks of Paid Time Off.
- 8 paid company holidays.
- 2 flexible holidays for anything you want to celebrate.
- Work/life balance and a manageable workload.
- Opportunities to connect in person and remotely with a passionate, supportive team.
