Privacy & AI Analyst
Barcelona | London
What’s the role?
Build with us. As Privacy & AI Analyst at Perk, you’ll help shape the future of privacy and AI in tech. You will be operating at the crossroads of business, technology, and evolving regulations. We are a team driven by customer‑centricity, innovation, and ambition to be the best team in tech. You will have the opportunity to create visible impact from day one as Perk moves toward being an AI‑first company.
Your work will help us build customer trust and empower teams with clear, scalable, and actionable privacy and AI governance that drives Perk’s growth. However, this is just the start: we’ll provide you with the resources you need to help us consolidate a world‑class data privacy and responsible AI culture for Perk, and to grow your own profile as a leading professional in the space.
This role sits within Perk's Legal & Privacy team. Reporting to Perk’s Senior Privacy Manager, you will work closely with our Privacy Counsel & DPO.
What will you be doing?
Strategy & Risk
You’ll help us build and evolve Perk's privacy and AI governance programs to enable growth while keeping trust intact. Identify and assess privacy and AI risks, then partner with the right teams to tackle them. That includes collaborating with the Security team on data incident readiness, AI threats, simulations and response.
Operations & Implementation
You will manage our privacy and AI tooling stack (and the relationship with those vendors), including automation and integrations. You’ll keep policies and guidelines updated and handle day‑to‑day privacy inquiries - including DSR intake, responses, tracking, and escalation, and run core accountability activities like ROPAs, AI inventory, DPIAs/FRIAs, LIAs, TIAs, consent tracking, marketing opt‑outs, and third‑party due diligence.
You will partner with the Privacy Counsel & DPO to turn regulatory updates into practical, scalable guidance. You’ll also track and report key program performance metrics, trends, and risks to senior stakeholders.
Compliance & Certifications
You will keep our privacy and AI governance programs aligned to GDPR, the EU AI Act, and other applicable laws. You’ll also support ISO 27701/27001/42001/23894 internal and external audits, evidence collection, and ongoing maintenance.
Product, Privacy & Responsible AI by Design
You will support privacy by design across product, engineering and marketing - clear guidance on data flows, retention, minimization, AI ethics, and default settings, so teams can ship with confidence, and we can detect and mitigate risks early.
Culture & Enablement
You will consolidate a Privacy Champions program to spread shared ownership across the company group (in collaboration with your Privacy & AI team colleagues). You’ll deliver training, comms, and knowledge resources that make privacy and AI governance feel real and approachable - so teams and users can easily self‑serve curated information and make informed decisions about managing data.
What capabilities will help you succeed?
Core qualifications and drivers:
Passion for Privacy & AI in the evolving tech space. You’re excited about mastering these fields.
2–5 years of experience in privacy, data protection, AI governance, compliance, information security, or a related field, ideally in a technology or SaaS environment.
Practical knowledge of key Privacy & AI regulations and frameworks.
Proven track record owning privacy operations end‑to‑end with no to minimal supervision.
Ability to grasp complex technical concepts. Think data flows, system architectures, and anonymisation. You don’t have to be an expert on these, but you will need to fluently communicate with and advise engineers on product development.
Excellent problem‑solving and sound risk judgment. You will be tasked with making decisions with limited oversight.
Clear, concise communication tailored to technical and non‑technical audiences; strong drafting skills for policies, guidance, and training.
Self‑starter, able to prioritize impact over effort / able to say “no” to less important things for the company, bias for action.
Preferred qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Law, Information Technology, or a related field - you don’t have to be a lawyer.
Recognized certifications such as CIPP, CIPM, CIPT, or AIGP.
Hands‑on experience with privacy and governance platforms and automation (e.g., BigID, OneTrust, TrustArc) and basic privacy tooling familiarity. You don’t have to be an expert in any one tool, but have the curiosity to learn new tools.
Exposure to standards and audits, especially ISO 27701 and 27001.

You are realistic and do not over‑promise.

You focus on the big wins and own your workflow.

Where will the role take you?
We believe passionately in the importance of growth and development for our team members; and that every team member is entitled to a job from which they derive high levels of personal satisfaction. Talented and driven people are entitled to expect employers to offer an employee value proposition which offers continual levelling up.
A successful occupant of this role will, after a suitable period of time, have exceptional experience of working in a fast scaling, global tech (and specifically SaaS) business. They will develop the tools and techniques to deliver internal privacy and AI governance capability at scale which subverts the expectations of stakeholders regarding privacy and AI laws (i.e. that it is bureaucracy) and drives tangible business outcomes.
In terms of promotions, the next layer up from Privacy & AI Analyst is Senior Privacy & AI Analyst. We are not hiring in this layer currently, and do not expect to hire “over your head” for this role; instead, we are looking for this person to grow and scale capability in their areas of expertise (and among legal subject matter experts who interact with other legal and privacy roles). Perk will offer you as much latitude as you want in order to deliver the best possible outcomes for your customers; and micromanagement or layers of bureaucracy are not part of that process.
The winning candidate will benefit from a competitive salary, stock options and a positive culture of high impact, not long hours.
