About the Role

Jigsaw is seeking an embedded data privacy advisor to serve as the primary point of contact for data and privacy inquiries across product, engineering, and customer-facing teams. This fractional role, starting at approximately two days per week in-office, focuses on translating legal and technical complexities into actionable, commercially-focused responses. The advisor will handle compliance actions for new product releases, manage customer-specific compliance needs, analyze DPAs, and address client questions regarding AI features. This role requires a flexible approach due to the diverse compliance needs of global clients in regulated industries, emphasizing ongoing advisory work over standardized solutions.

Responsibilities

Act as the go-to person for data and privacy questions across the business in product meetings, customer rollout calls, and migration conversations.
Translate specific customer contract terms into practical, commercial recommendations, weighing real risk instead of defaulting to 'no'.
Advise on cross-border and international data transfer questions.
Join customer calls to speak credibly with clients' own data privacy counsel.
Translate complex legal and technical concepts clearly for non-legal, technical teams internally.
Help build a 'privacy by design' culture at Jigsaw, embedding privacy thinking at the start of projects.
Proactively identify opportunities to improve templates, playbooks, and processes, in addition to handling day-to-day reactive work.

Requirements

A working understanding of UK & US privacy laws, including UK & EU GDPR, the UK Data Protection Act and CCPA, ideally with experience applying them in a live commercial context.
Genuine on-the-ground experience inside a tech company building product; not suitable for a purely private-practice legal background.
Comfort with cross-border and international data transfer questions.
Commercial, pragmatic, solution-minded operator capable of weighing risk and proposing workable solutions.
Excellent communication skills, both with legally sophisticated clients and non-legal internal teams.
High ownership balanced with genuine collaboration and consensus-building ability.
Comfort with a fractional working pattern, with pragmatic flexibility for urgent issues.
