Assist in the development, improvement and deployment of Coveo’s privacy program and processes (e.g. privacy assessments, vendor due diligence, risks documentation, internal audits, data processing addendums).
Partner with the Legal commercial team to support sales & procurement negotiations with respect to privacy, compliance and product-knowledge.
Develop and deliver privacy training and awareness programs for R&D teams and other internal stakeholders (e.g. Legal commercial, Security or Sales teams).
Provide general legal compliance support (e.g. intellectual property, export-control).

Ability to think outside of the box and be able to provide pragmatic advice beyond the letter of the law while helping Coveo mature its approach to privacy.
