About Us

We’re trusted by more than 10,000 companies worldwide, including Wise, On Running, Breitling, and Fabletics, and we’re tackling the 7 hours of lost productivity per employee each week, a $1.7 trillion problem.

Privacy & AI Analyst

Barcelona | Berlin | London

What’s the role?

As Privacy & AI Analyst at Perk, you will be the engine behind our privacy and AI governance program.

This is a hands-on, operational role focused on building systems, processes, and tooling - not a legal counsel or advisory position. While our Counsel sets the legal direction, you will make it real by transforming our privacy function from a manual checkpoint into a self-serve technical infrastructure.

You will have the opportunity to create visible impact from day one as Perk moves toward being an AI-first company. This role sits within Perk’s Legal & Privacy team, reporting to the Head of Privacy.

This is not a legal counsel role.

What will you be doing?

• Front-Line Response: own the end-to-end Data Subject Request (DSR) lifecycle, triage privacy and AI incidents, and act as the first responder to client and internal privacy and AI governance queries.

• Automation & Tooling: manage our privacy and AI governance tools, leveraging AI to accelerate common tasks and engineer out manual workstreams. Develop our Privacy Hub — the team’s infrastructural “brain” that integrates and automates privacy workflows - and curate resources (guides, FAQs, playbooks) to integrate privacy into other teams’ workflows with minimal human touch.

• Accountability Routines: run DPIAs/FRIAs, LIAs, TIAs, AI inventory, consent tracking, and ROPA, ensuring they reflect Perk’s evolving data landscape.

• Certifications & Reporting: maintain technical controls for ISO certifications (27701/27001/42001/23894), support audits, and report key performance metrics to senior stakeholders.

• Training & Enablement: design practical training programs and work through other teams to spread shared ownership across the company.

What capabilities will help you succeed?

• A builder mindset with a strong instinct for process automation and navigating data flows and APIs.

• 2–5 years of experience in privacy operations, or a related operational function, ideally in a SaaS or technology environment.

• Practical knowledge of key privacy & AI governance regulatory frameworks (GDPR, CCPA, EU AI Act).

• Ability to grasp complex technical concepts. Think data flows, system architectures, and anonymisation.

• Excellent problem‑solving and sound risk judgment. You will be tasked with making decisions with limited oversight.

• A self-starter attitude focused on impact over effort, aligning with Perk's core values.

During our interview process, we’ll also look for your ability to demonstrate specific competencies which derive from Perk’s values.

Where will the role take you?

We believe in continual leveling up. You will develop the techniques to deliver internal privacy and AI governance capability at scale, subverting expectations that compliance is just bureaucracy.

The next promotion layer is Senior Privacy & AI Analyst, and we expect you to grow into this by scaling capabilities in your areas of expertise without the burden of micromanagement.

AI at Perk

AI is embedded in how we work across every function. The tools you'll use day-to-day are AI-enabled so you can move faster and spend more time on the work that matters. In practice, that means using AI to research and prioritise accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesise information, and cut through shadow work - the invisible tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do - so you can focus on relationships and outcomes.

We don't expect you to be an AI expert, but we do expect you to be curious and intentional about it. The bar is judgment: knowing when AI makes your work better, when to verify what it produces, and when to rely on your own expertise instead.

We'll ask about how you use AI in your interviews, not to test tool knowledge, but to understand how you think about it. That reflects how we work every day.

How We Work

At Perk, we take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in-person 3 days a week. As such, this role requires you to be based within commuting distance of our hubs. We fundamentally believe in the value of meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, creativity and ultimately making us a great place to work.

For certain roles, we can help with relocation from anywhere in the world, English is the official language at the office. Please submit your resume in English if you choose to apply. Do not forget to submit an updated portfolio and/or resume.

Perk is a global company with a diverse customer base, and we want to make sure the people behind our product reflect that. We’re an equal opportunity employer, which means you’re welcome at Perk regardless of how you look, where you’re from, or anything else that makes you, well, you.

All official communication from Perk will always come from email addresses ending in @perk.com or @externalperk.com, our verified social media channels, or recruiters listed on our official LinkedIn page.
