What is a senior privacy compliance professional?

Senior Privacy Compliance professionals are experts responsible for ensuring that an organization adheres to privacy laws, regulations, and internal policies regarding the collection, use, and protection of personal data. They lead and oversee privacy compliance programs, conduct risk assessments, train staff, and often serve as the primary point of contact for regulatory agencies. These professionals also monitor changes in privacy laws and recommend updates to policies and practices to maintain compliance. Their work helps safeguard sensitive information, prevent data breaches, and maintain the trust of customers and stakeholders.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a senior privacy compliance professional?

To thrive as a Senior Privacy Compliance professional, you need expertise in privacy laws (such as GDPR, CCPA), risk assessment, and regulatory compliance, typically supported by a relevant degree and certifications like CIPP or CIPM. Familiarity with data mapping tools, compliance management software, and internal audit systems is essential. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills set top candidates apart in this role. These abilities are crucial for ensuring organizational adherence to privacy regulations, mitigating legal risks, and fostering trust with customers and stakeholders.

What are some of the main challenges faced by senior privacy compliance professionals when coordinating with cross-functional teams?

Senior Privacy Compliance professionals often encounter challenges in aligning various departments, such as IT, legal, and business units, to ensure consistent data privacy practices across the organization. Each team may have different priorities and levels of understanding regarding privacy regulations, which can lead to miscommunication or delays in implementing compliance initiatives. Effective collaboration requires strong communication skills, the ability to translate complex regulations into practical guidelines, and proactive stakeholder management to foster a privacy-aware culture throughout the business.

Senior Privacy Compliance professionals focus on strategic oversight, policy development, and ensuring organizational adherence to privacy laws. Privacy Analysts typically handle data assessments, compliance support, and operational tasks. The senior role requires more experience and certifications, while the analyst role is more execution-focused. Both roles are vital in privacy programs but differ in scope and responsibility.

Sr. Privacy Compliance Specialist

Edible Brandsยฎ was launched in 2022 to bring together powerful, purposeโ€‘led brands under one unified purpose: to enrich everyday life through celebration, nourishment, and wellness. Today, Edible Brands powers three bold and growing concepts across 700+ locations worldwide.

Our portfolio spans Edible Arrangementsยฎ, the iconic gifting brand; Rลti ยฎ, a Mediterraneanโ€‘inspired fastโ€‘casual restaurant; edibles.comโ„ข, a trusted marketplace for lowโ€‘dosage THC & CBD wellness products; and BerryDirect ยฎ, our robust supply chain infrastructure. Together, these brands are fueled by The Edible Way โ€”a set of employeeโ€‘driven values that keep us committed, collaborative, adaptable, resultsโ€‘driven, and always ready to celebrate.

The Big Picture:

Edible Brandsยฎ is committed to maintaining the highest standards of privacy compliance and regulatory adherence as we scale our operations across our portfolio of brands and geographies. The Privacy Compliance Specialist is a handsโ€‘on technical ownership role for our privacy and consent management platform (currently OneTrust ), and the operational backbone of our Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) and consent management programs. This role strategically bridges Legal, Information Security, Engineering, Marketing Operations, and Data Analytics to establish and maintain enterpriseโ€‘wide privacy governance, data subject request management, and regulatory compliance.

As privacy regulations expand (GDPR, CCPA, state privacy laws, and emerging frameworks), this role ensures our organization has clear ownership of Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), deletion workflows, consent management, and crossโ€‘system compliance. The ideal candidate is detailโ€‘oriented, technically handsโ€‘on, systemsโ€‘minded, and comfortable navigating ambiguity while coordinating across technical, legal, and business teams. This role reports to Legal/Compliance leadership and is essential to our postโ€‘Shopify migration strategy.

Location: This position will work onsite out of our Corporate Office in Sandy Springs, GA Monday โ€“ Friday.

What this looks like day to day:
  • Serve as the primary point of contact and relationship owner for the privacy platform vendor, managing support escalations, tracking contract terms and renewal timelines, and coordinating any implementation or professional services engagements.
  • Define, document, and continuously improve privacy operations, including consent governance, Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) intake, identity verification, deletion workflows, crossโ€‘functional execution procedures, and auditโ€‘ready documentation.
  • Manage endโ€‘toโ€‘end DSAR and data deletion processes across all business systems, meeting statutory response deadlines and other applicable laws, ensuring timely completion, regulatory compliance, and maintenance of audit trails and proof of deletion.
  • Monitor DSAR response timelines, coordinate execution with internal teams and thirdโ€‘party vendors, verify request completion across systems, and elevate risks or delays as needed.
  • Serve as the primary privacy operations partner to Legal, Engineering, Marketing, Information Security, Data Analytics, and external vendors by coordinating governance meetings, compliance initiatives, vendor privacy reviews, and crossโ€‘functional projects.
  • Partner with Legal to support privacy notices, data processing agreements, regulatory interpretation, and broader privacy governance initiatives.
  • Stay current on GDPR, CCPA, and emerging U.S. state privacy laws; prepare compliance reports and audit documentation while identifying, mitigating, and escalating privacy risks and compliance gaps.
  • Support the development of privacy policies, data governance standards, and best practices for data collection, processing, retention, and deletion across the organization.
  • Maintain and continuously update the organizationโ€™s data inventory / Records of Processing Activities ( RoPA ) across business systems.
What you bring:
  • Bachelor's degree required; background in privacy, compliance, legal operations, or data governance preferred.
  • Minimum 3โ€“5 years of experience in privacy, compliance, legal operations, or data governance roles, including direct handsโ€‘on configuration (not just use) of consent management or privacy platforms ( OneTrust , TrustArc , Termly, or similar)
  • Handsโ€‘on experience with Shopify, eโ€‘commerce platforms, or retailโ€‘specific privacy compliance.
  • Demonstrated knowledge of GDPR, CCPA, and state privacy laws; experience managing Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) or data deletion requests against statutory deadlines.
  • Experience partnering directly with vendors including support escalation, contract renewals and negotiations, and evaluation of vendor performance.
  • Familiarity with engineering/development workflows and the ability to work with technical teams.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft 365, data inventory/mapping tools, and analytics platforms.
  • Preferred:
  • CIPP (Certified Information Privacy Professional) certification or willingness to pursue.
  • Experience with data inventory or data governance platforms (Collibra, Traction, Alation).
  • Background in a multiโ€‘brand, regulated, or scaled legal/compliance function.
How you work:
  • Strong project management and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and coordinate across teams.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical and legal concepts for diverse audiences.
  • Strong attention to detail, discretion, and the ability to handle confidential information.
  • Comfortable being the inโ€‘house technical owner of a critical compliance system, proactively flagging risk rather than being asked.
