Being a Privacy Program Manager at iManage Means… 

You will help operationalize and scale key components of iManage's global privacy and data protection program.

The ideal candidate has built privacy programs from scratch, excels at creating scalable processes and governance frameworks, and thrives on stakeholder coordination and change management. You bring deep GDPR and privacy program expertise but are not required to be a qualified lawyer. Your strength is operational excellence, program management, and building scalable systems that work. 

iM Responsible For… 

• Operationalizing and scaling the global privacy program, including records of processing (RoPA), privacy tooling, and operational compliance with GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other global privacy regulations. 
• Managing the operational workflow for privacy assessments (PIAs, DPIAs, LIAs, AI impact assessments), including coordinating inputs, documentation, tracking, and escalation, while partnering with legal counsel on legal judgment and risk analysis.

• Supporting the management of personal data incidents in coordination with Information Security and the DPO and collaborating with relevant teams to identify privacy risks and develop proportionate mitigation approaches. 
• Serving as the primary point of contact for privacy operations across Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Security, and Compliance teams, building trusted partnerships and establishing regular stakeholder cadence. 
• Building privacy governance structures (privacy committees, champion networks, escalation paths) and creating self-service resources that enable business teams to operate compliantly. 
• Developing privacy metrics, dashboards, and reporting for leadership visibility, and managing audit preparation and compliance evidence. 
• Leading privacy culture and change management initiatives, translating complex regulations into practical guidance, and driving adoption across the organization. 
• Managing the Privacy Operations Specialist, providing direction on priorities, quality standards, and professional development. 

iM Qualified Because I Have… 

• 5-8 years of privacy program management experience, with demonstrated experience building privacy programs from scratch or significantly scaling existing programs. 
• Deep expertise in GDPR and UK GDPR operational requirements, including hands-on experience with RoPAs, DPIAs, DSARs, international data transfers, and privacy technology platforms (OneTrust, Ketch, etc.). 
• Experience working within multi-jurisdictional privacy programs spanning EEA, UK, US, and other global regions. 
• Proven track record in SaaS, cloud, or technology environments, preferably serving regulated customers (legal, financial services, healthcare). 
• Strong program management and stakeholder coordination skills, with ability to manage multiple workstreams, drive initiatives to completion, and build trusted cross-functional partnerships. 
• Excellent communication skills with ability to translate complex privacy regulations into practical operational guidance and drive organizational change. 
• Self-starter mentality with ability to build structure in ambiguous environments and work independently while partnering effectively with legal counsel. 
• Experience leading a team. 

Bonus Points If I Have... 

• CIPP/E, CIPP/US, or CIPM certification. 
• Experience supporting AI governance initiatives or AI-related privacy assessments.
