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.
