About the role

We're hiring a Senior Privacy Specialist to be our privacy presence in the UK and EU as Fireworks scales its European footprint. We've achieved ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 42001, and SOC 2 Type II, and we operate active UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and CCPA programs.

You'll be our senior privacy point of contact for the UK and EU - the person who fields supervisory authority correspondence and owns the operational processes that keep our UK GDPR, EU GDPR, and Data Protection Act 2018 obligations met. You'll report to our Privacy Lead and work as part of a small global privacy team, with real autonomy over the UK/EU side of the program.

This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role, and an advisory one. You'll be the privacy judgment in the room for the UK and EU: the person engineers, sales, and legal come to before they ship, sign, or answer.

Who this role is for

We're building a privacy function that punches well above its headcount. That shapes who succeeds here:

• You've operated and built under ambiguity. You're used to being the one who owns it, and you've built structures where none existed rather than inheriting someone else's.

• You build systems, not queues. You've used AI tooling, automation platforms, scripting, or workflow engines to take manual privacy work off the table - and you're excited to do more of that utilizing cutting-edge technology.

• You take a project and finish it. You don't need prescriptive instructions or hand-holding - you spot what's broken, scope it, own it until completion, and socialize it within the organization.

• You take extreme ownership. When something in your area goes wrong, you own it, fix it, and make sure it can't happen the same way twice - without waiting to be asked and without pointing fingers.

What you'll do

• Act as our senior privacy point of contact for the UK and EU: first line for the ICO and EU supervisory authorities, handling regulator correspondence and inquiries with support from our Privacy Lead and Legal.
