What You’ll Do

Your role is to understand our customers, all 1500+ engineers and data scientists at Twitter, gather insights, identify opportunities, and help prioritize work for developing and managing the portfolio of products and policies that further our Security and Privacy by Design philosophy. You will help ensure all our solutions are executed in a privacy-compliant way while staying abreast of all applicable data protection and privacy laws, including EU General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ), burgeoning US regulatory policies such as CCPA, or industry-led policies. You will partner cross-functionally to put an appropriate compliance framework in place to ensure we’re developing and deploying products, infrastructure and policies that adhere to our leading privacy-first practices. This role will also lead the definition, launch, roll-out, and ongoing improvement of these solutions with responsibility for guiding feature development. You will:

• Convey your vision through bold product roadmaps, working closely with product leaders and software engineers, and participate in all levels of team planning.
• Create and maintain concrete, quantitative, and descriptive profiles of customers and their needs. These include mobile developers, web developers, core service backend developers, and machine learning data scientists.
• Develop a product portfolio with a clear roadmap and hold team accountable to delivering against that roadmap
• Review existing processes and identify gaps in the solution set and recommend improvements and see the changes through
• Work with Security teams, Data Management, Data Science, Legal, Product and Engineering teams to design and validate solutions to the most important customer problems, as they evolve over time.

Who You Are: 

• You obsess over building products people love.

• You have a creative and entrepreneurial spirit, are a self starter and an analytical thinker. 

• You care. You believe Twitter should obsess about privacy so we continue to protect our customers’ data. Your curiosity drives you to understand the impact that product changes may have on Twitter’s diverse customer base and makes you a natural advocate for their needs.
