ABOUT THE COMPANY Our client is a profitable, bootstrapped Enterprise SaaS company solving one of the most critical challenges in tech: data privacy compliance. Their AI-powered Data Privacy Governance platform — built on patented technology — is trusted by Fortune 100 organizations to manage GDPR, CCPA, and global privacy regulations at scale. This is not a pre-revenue startup. They have proven product-market fit, established enterprise sales, and a mission that matters: making data privacy a standard, not an afterthought. THE ROLE You'll own the full implementation lifecycle for enterprise clients — from kickoff to go-live — acting as the connective tissue between Fortune 100 stakeholders and internal engineering teams.
