Staff Privacy Advisor

Know where you belong!

Match Group is a leading provider of dating products across the globe. Our portfolio includes Tinder, Hinge, Match, Meetic, PlentyOfFish, OkCupid, The League, HER, and others, each designed to spark meaningful connections for singles worldwide. Creating a sense of belonging doesn’t stop at our products - it’s the foundation of every team we hire.

 

When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life (IRL). We think the same is true for creating the best platforms, so we work together IRL 3 days/week.

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. 

You’ll play a key role in privacy-by-design reviews, including data protection impact assessments, helping ensure that innovative features are built responsibly and in compliance with global privacy laws.

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. 

When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life (IRL). 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). 

How you’ll make an impact

• 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 a self-starter who takes initiative in driving privacy reviews and projects forward, exercising sound judgment on when to seek guidance and escalate issues

• 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.
