Privacy & AI Analyst
Barcelona | London
Whatâs the role?
Build with us. As Privacy & AI Analyst at Perk, youâll 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 Perkâs growth. However, this is just the start: weâll 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 Perkâs Senior Privacy Manager, you will work closely with our Privacy Counsel & DPO.
What will you be doing?
Strategy & Risk
You will 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. Youâll 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. Youâll 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. Youâll 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). Youâll 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?

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.

Clear, concise communication tailored to technical and nonâtechnical audiences; strong drafting skills for policies, guidance, and training.

Recognized certifications such as CIPP, CIPM, CIPT, or AIGP.
