CAD 100k-120k / year + Equity
We’re looking for a Staff Privacy Advisor based in Vancouver to join our global Privacy Team.
This role is focused on privacy-by-design – partnering closely with product, engineering, legal, and other business teams to embed privacy into the development of some of the world’s most recognized consumer apps, including Tinder and Hinge.

Drawing on your privacy expertise, you'll provide authoritative guidance to cross-functional teams navigating complex regulatory landscapes including GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA and emerging global requirements related to privacy, cybersecurity and AI.

We think the same is true for creating the best platforms, so this hybrid role will have you in our beautiful new office three days a week (spoiler alert: it features a barista, stunning views and regular happy hours).

Translate complex legal and regulatory requirements into practical, product-focused guidance.
Help build scalable processes, templates, and tools to support efficient and consistent privacy reviews
Support data incident response processes, including breach assessment, regulatory notification timelines, and remediation guidance.
Contribute to privacy governance initiatives, including documentation, playbooks, and internal guidance
Stay current on global privacy developments and help operationalize requirements into product workflows
Support audits and assessments of privacy practices in collaboration with cross-functional partners
Provide support to the implementation of Match Group’s global privacy program.
We could be a match if you:
Have a background in privacy, law, public policy, or a related field.
Have experience supporting or conducting PIAs, DPIAs, LIAs, or product privacy reviews.
Understand how digital products work (e.g., data flows, APIs, SDKs, AI/ML use cases).
Are comfortable working closely with technical and product teams.
Have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail.
Are an effective communicator who can translate legal concepts into clear, actionable guidance.
Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and can manage multiple priorities

Are digitally literate, preferably with a proficiency in Google Workspace.
Are comfortable with and interested in applying AI tools in your everyday work, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Zoom AI Companion to automate repetitive tasks and improve output quality such as in drafting documents, generating structured outputs and improving workflows.
Are committed to continuous learning and development.
What’s the team like?
On this close-knit global team, you will have the opportunity to work both collaboratively and independently on exciting privacy challenges.
Individuals on this team manage multiple projects simultaneously, are autonomous and self-motivated team players with a keen interest in privacy, possess superior communication skills, collaborate effectively with stakeholders, and have excellent project management skills.
