Privacy and Compliance Analyst (SF/NYC)

At Persona, we're building the first universal and comprehensive identity infrastructure to help businesses of all sizes better serve and protect their end users' identities. Our identity platform enables businesses to collect and manage their end users' personal information securely, verify that their end users are who they say they are, analyze and detect fraud and abuse, and pull sensitive reports about their end users in a privacy-centric way. In a world where consumer behaviors are changing and privacy and identity are taking on a new meaning, we want to help businesses find their superpowers and do it while putting their end users, the people, first.

Persona is looking to bring on a Privacy and Compliance Support Analyst. As an early member of the technical program management team, you will support multiple workstreams such as our efforts with privacy programs and internal due diligence programs. You will be the go-to person for delivering on day-to-day operations for our company to stay compliant with domestic and international privacy regulations.

• Optimize processes: Research, implement, and manage new tools to optimize internal efficiencies across teams
