Privacy Manager

Build the program: Drive Sezzle’s implementation of the NIST Privacy Framework from roadmap to operating program, including Current and Target Profiles, gap analysis, a prioritized and costed action plan, and ongoing monitoring, aligned with US state and federal requirements (CCPA/CPRA and other state comprehensive privacy laws, GLBA, TCPA) and Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA and Quebec’s Law 25).

Run privacy review: Own privacy risk assessments and Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) for new products, features, and third-party vendors, and operate an intake and disposition process that gives every proposal a fast, documented answer: approved, approved with controls, or needs redesign.

Own the data map and consumer rights: Build and maintain the enterprise data inventory and data map in partnership with Engineering, tracking the lifecycle of consumer information, and manage the automation and fulfillment of consumer access, deletion, and opt-out requests.

Operationalize privacy-enhancing techniques: Administer Sezzle’s de-identification and aggregation standard and its approval workflow so that data-driven products and analytics ship with the right controls designed in from the start.

Embed privacy-by-design: Partner directly with Engineering, Product, and Marketing teams during early-stage development so that privacy requirements are designed in, not bolted on.

Govern, measure, and report: Run the cadence of Sezzle’s cross-functional privacy working group, maintain the program’s decision log and obligations register, track program metrics, and support executive and board-level reporting. Collaborate closely with the Information Security team to manage, investigate, and mitigate privacy incidents and cross-border data transfer risks.

CIPM (privacy program management) plus CIPP/US or CIPP/C; CIPT is a plus.

Technical familiarity with modern privacy tech platforms (e.g., OneTrust, Securiti.ai, WireWheel) and data infrastructure analytics.

Experience navigating financial regulations and compliance frameworks (e.g., GLBA, PCI-DSS) alongside traditional consumer privacy laws.

Public-company experience, including supporting audit committee or board-level reporting.

You have relentlessly high standards - many people may think your standards are unreasonably high. You are continually raising the bar and driving those around you to deliver great results. You make sure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed.

You’re not bound by convention - your success, and much of the fun, lies in developing new ways to do things.

You need action - speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk-taking.

You earn trust - you listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully.

You have backbone; disagree, then commit - you can respectfully challenge decisions when you disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. You have conviction and are tenacious. You do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, you commit wholly.

You deliver results - you focus on the key inputs and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, you rise to the occasion and never settle.
