Job description

Sprinto is an Autonomous Trust Platform that centralizes trust requirements across security frameworks, vendors, and customers.

Sprinto autonomously executes tasks needed to maintain trust across compliance, audits, risk management, vendor risk, privacy, and AI governance, enabling organizations to maintain a strong, reliable trust posture without draining operational bandwidth and resources on repetitive tasks.

Backed by top-tier investors such as Accel, Elevation, and Blume Ventures, we’ve raised $31.8M in funding to fuel our mission. Trusted by over 3,000 organizations across 75 countries, Sprinto helps organizations stay audit-ready, manage real-time risks, and scale fearlessly. With 300+ native integrations and AI-driven automation, Sprinto supports 200+ global security standards natively, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and more. Sprinto's extensible architecture enables organizations to build and support an infinite number of custom integrations and frameworks.

Founded in 2020 by second-time founders Girish Redekar and Raghuveer Kancherla, Sprinto powers compliance for organizations like Whatfix, Encora, Anaconda, Whatnot, Ultrahuman, WeWork, Everstage, AI Foundation, HackerRank, and many more.

Life as a Sprinter : 

Nobody succeeds at Sprinto by staying in their lane.

We are organized around problems, not job titles. Sprinters take ownership beyond their role, solve hard problems, and care deeply about the impact they create. If something can be improved, fixed, or built, we don't wait for permission; we step in.

Being remote means we rely less on proximity and more on trust. We write things down, communicate openly, and move quickly because great teams aren't built by sitting together, they're built by pulling in the same direction.

We believe progress beats perfection, feedback is a gift, and doing the right thing matters, even when nobody is watching.

And while we move with urgency, we never move alone.

The mission of this role : 

Trusted authority on global privacy regulation and AI governance — a DPO-like profile combining hands-on delivery (DPIA, ROPA, privacy program builds) with working fluency in reading and interpreting privacy law. Not a substitute for outside counsel, but able to translate regulatory text into program requirements without waiting on legal for every question.


Where you'll Leave Your Mark / Things You'll Build

What you'll do

Deliver

  • Lead delivery of DPIAs, ROPA build-outs, privacy program gap assessments, GDPR/DPDP/EU AI Act compliance programs, cross-border transfer assessments (SCCs, adequacy), and privacy notice/policy reviews.

  • Serve as Sprinto's internal authority on evolving privacy regulation: GDPR enforcement trends, India's DPDP Rules, EU AI Act phased obligations, US state privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA, etc.), and other regional frameworks (PDPL, PIPL) as customer demand requires.

  • Build reusable IP

  • Build and maintain DPIA templates, ROPA templates, legitimate interest assessment frameworks, and AI governance/impact assessment templates mapped to EU AI Act risk tiers.

  • Own commercial outcomes

  • Define packaging for privacy services (e.g., DPIA-as-a-service, ROPA sprint, privacy program build fixed-fee tiers).

  • Own pricing, margin, and utilization on your engagement book; forecast capacity for privacy demand.

  • Partner with Sales/SE/CS on privacy-attach opportunities.

  • AI-enabled productization

  • Build AI-assisted DPIA/ROPA generation playbooks with mandatory human validation gates — privacy work carries more interpretive and liability weight than technical control mapping, so review gates should be heavier, not lighter.

  • Quality & risk

  • Define explicit boundaries/disclaimers: this role provides regulatory/program guidance, not legal advice. Know when to tell a customer to get outside counsel, and don't blur that line under deal pressure.

  • Support customers navigating regulator inquiries or breach-notification timelines in an advisory capacity only.


  • The kind of builder we're looking For

    Experience

  • 5+ years in privacy consulting, DPO/privacy office roles, or in-house privacy program ownership.

  • Hands-on DPIA and ROPA delivery at scale — not just policy drafting.

  • Domain mastery

  • Deep: GDPR, India's DPDP Act.

  • Working knowledge: EU AI Act, US state privacy laws, and awareness of other regional frameworks (PDPL, PIPL).

  • Good to have

  • Legal background (JD/LLM, or paralegal/compliance-law experience) — enough to read and interpret regulatory text independently for routine questions. Not a requirement; treat as a differentiator, not a filter, given how narrow this combination is in the market.

  • AI-enabled workflow proficiency

  • Demonstrated use of AI tools to reduce manual effort and standardize deliverables.

  • Able to translate domain expertise into reusable templates and guided systems.

  • Operator strengths

  • Comfortable owning pricing/margin for a specialized, judgment-heavy service line.

  • Excellent written communication; confident handling ambiguous regulatory questions in live customer settings.

  • Preferred

  • IAPP certifications (CIPP/E, CIPM, CIPT, FIP), formal DPO certification.

  • Success metrics

  • Utilization % and gross margin on privacy engagements.

  • Regulatory-change responsiveness — time to update playbooks after new guidance/rules land.

  • QA pass rate, rework rate, CSAT.

  • Attach rate for privacy services; deal-unblock impact where privacy expertise was the gating factor.


  • You will enjoy Sprinto if
  • Stepping in before someone has to step up.

  • Wearing multiple hats without counting them.

  • Leaving egos at the door and winning as one team.

  • Taking the harder right over the easier wrong.

  • Shipping, learning, repeating.

  • Staying curious and never staying in your lane.


  • How we care for our Sprinters
