Description
Apple's IS&T Security, Privacy, and Compliance organization is seeking a Privacy Compliance Analyst to help establish and operate enterprise privacy and regulatory compliance programs across a complex, global technology landscape. In this role you will translate regulatory and policy requirements into scalable compliance processes, assess and govern privacy and data protection risk, and drive accountability for remediation across the organization.

You will partner with Legal, Privacy, Information Security, Engineering, Product, Data, and business teams - as well as regional in-country compliance teams - to establish a coordinated, risk-based approach for identifying, assessing, governing, and monitoring high-risk personal information processing activities. You'll bring the rigor of an auditor, the discipline of a program manager, and the technical depth to propose and reason about data platforms, pipelines, and data at scale.","responsibilities":"Program operation: Help define, establish, and continuously improve privacy and regulatory compliance frameworks for IS&T, with a focus on efficiency, scalability, and robust reporting.
Requirements translation: Work with Legal and Privacy partners to convert regulatory obligations and internal policy into practical, testable control requirements and repeatable operating processes.
Risk and control assessment: Perform privacy assessments, control assessments, and compliance reviews of applications, data flows, and business processes. Identify gaps, quantify risk, and recommend pragmatic remediation.
Design review: Evaluate proposed architectures, data flows, and technical designs to assess their fit with control objectives - identifying where a design satisfies requirements, where it falls short, and what alternatives would meet the objective more efficiently. Partner with engineering teams early, so controls are built in rather than retrofitted.
Remediation accountability: Track findings and commitments to closure. Escalate with clarity, drive owners toward outcomes, and help remove obstacles to progress.
Monitoring and reporting: Build monitoring and reporting mechanisms - including data-driven metrics and dashboards - that give engineering leaders and executives a clear view of compliance posture and emerging risk.
Analysis at scale: Query and analyze large enterprise datasets to validate controls, test compliance assertions, and surface anomalies rather than relying on attestation alone.
Cross-functional partnership: Build strong relationships across IS&T and with regional compliance teams. Facilitate communication across divisions and foster a unified approach to program goals.
Enablement: Champion adoption of compliance platforms, tooling, and standards. Support education and awareness initiatives in partnership with engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications
Audit or advisory experience at a Big 4 or comparable professional services firm
Experience with Privacy Impact Assessments, Data Protection Impact Assessments, or similar risk assessment methodologies
Experience with cross-border data transfer governance
Proficiency in SQL and familiarity with Python and large-scale data ecosystems; comfort applying data science concepts to compliance monitoring
Proficiency with AI tools and techniques - using generative AI and ML-based agents to automate analytical and compliance workflows, accelerate assessment and evidence review, and expand monitoring capabilities at scale
Experience supporting technology compliance programs within a large, matrixed organization
Privacy, risk, audit, security, or compliance certifications (e.g., CIPP, CIPM, CIPT, CISA, CRISC)
Excellent presentation and storytelling skills

Minimum Qualifications
4+ years of experience in privacy, compliance, risk management, information security, technology audit, or data governance
Experience performing risk assessments, control assessments, privacy assessments, audits, or compliance reviews
Hands-on experience with global privacy and data protection regulations such as GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, PIPL, or other emerging global data protection regimes
Experience with data classification, data governance, data inventories, or data-flow mapping
Familiarity with cloud environments, enterprise applications, APIs, data platforms, and software development life cycle methodologies
Ability to evaluate technical designs and architectures against control objectives and articulate gaps to both engineering and non-technical audiences
Demonstrated ability to translate regulatory, policy, or control requirements into practical and scalable processes
Strong analytical skills and the ability to assess complex business and technical processes
Experience working with cross-functional stakeholders across technology, security, engineering, product, legal, and business teams
Experience managing multiple priorities and driving complex cross-functional initiatives to completion
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to frame complex concepts for senior audiences
Ability to work independently and operate effectively in an ambiguous, evolving regulatory environment
Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
