About the role

Apple IS&T’s Privacy Compliance Analyst helps establish and operate enterprise privacy and regulatory compliance programs across a global technology landscape. The role translates regulatory requirements into scalable processes, assesses and governs privacy and data protection risk, and drives remediation across the organization while partnering with Legal, Privacy, Information Security, Engineering, Product, Data, and regional teams.

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.

  • 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
