The posting

Job description

UNiDAYS is a global identity and verification platform connecting brands with verified students and Gen Z audiences across more than 115 markets. We provide verification services to some of the world's largest platforms, alongside marketplace and media products for leading global brands. We are looking for an experienced, commercially minded privacy leader to own our global privacy programme, with a particular focus on embedding privacy into our products and technology. This is a senior, hands-on role and our sole in-house privacy position. You will work closely with Product and Engineering, advise the wider business and collaborate with an independent DPO, should that function be outsourced. You will independently assess risks, set priorities, provide practical guidance and drive matters through to resolution. We need someone who has done this before: a self-starter with sound commercial judgement, strong execution skills and the confidence to operate autonomously while knowing when to escalate.

  • Qualified solicitor or lawyer with at lease 8+ years’ post-qualification experience (PQE), including substantial experience advising on privacy and data protection matters within a technology-led, product-driven or data-intensive business.
  • A proven track record of independently owning a privacy programme, conducting audits, identifying risks and delivering remediation.
  • Demonstrated experience embedding privacy by design into live products and working closely with Product and Engineering.
  • Deep expertise in UK and EU GDPR, with working knowledge of international privacy regimes.
  • Strong technical understanding of data flows, systems architecture and APIs.
  • Excellent commercial judgement, communication and presentation skills, with the confidence to influence senior stakeholders.
  • A self-directed, hands-on approach, with proven ability to manage competing priorities and deliver results without a supporting privacy team.
  • Experience with OneTrust or a similar privacy management platform.

Highly desirable: Experience with identity verification, digital identity, children's or young people's data, advertising and audience data, or implementing AI-enabled processes. Recognised privacy certification (such as CIPP/E or CIPM) is advantageous but not essential. Product privacy and privacy by design

  • Partner with Product and Engineering to embed privacy into product design, development and launches.
  • Assess new products, features and technologies, providing practical, commercially viable solutions.
  • Advise on data flows, lawful bases, consent, retention and other privacy requirements.
  • Lead privacy considerations for identity verification, younger users (13+) and age assurance, including the Age Appropriate Design Code and relevant emerging regulations.

Privacy risk, assurance and governance

  • Independently conduct risk-based privacy audits and assessments across products, systems, vendors and operations.
  • Own core privacy governance, including DPIAs, RoPAs, policies, notices, data mapping and international transfers.
  • Maintain a privacy risk register, identify compliance gaps and drive remediation through to completion.
  • Oversee data subject rights, complaints and privacy incidents, working with Information Security and any appointed external DPO.
  • Lead operational AI governance, including AI risk assessments, internal AI use standards and EU AI Act readiness.
  • Maintain and improve the global privacy programme, ensuring compliance with UK and EU GDPR, PECR and other applicable international privacy laws.

Commercial advice and stakeholder engagement

  • Serve as the primary privacy adviser across the business, providing timely, clear and commercially grounded guidance.
  • Support Commercial and Partnerships on data protection terms, customer requirements and privacy assurance requests.
  • Deliver engaging privacy training and communicate confidently across the organisation, including at company-wide forums.
  • Provide concise, actionable reporting to the General Counsel, executive leadership and, where required, the Board.

Operational excellence

  • Develop scalable privacy processes, playbooks and technology-enabled workflows, using tools such as OneTrust and AI to improve efficiency.
  • Independently manage competing priorities, establish clear accountability and ensure issues are followed through to resolution.

What success looks like

  • Privacy is embedded in Product and Engineering decisions from the outset.
  • Material privacy risks are identified proactively, clearly reported and effectively managed.
  • Audits and assessments result in meaningful improvements, with remediation driven to completion.
  • The business receives timely, practical advice that supports commercial objectives.
  • The privacy function operates independently and effectively, with leadership confident that priorities are being managed without constant oversight.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
