If you’re excited about pushing boundaries in tech and delivering a game-changing experience for consumers and merchants alike, come join us at Sezzle and help create the future of shopping! About the Role: We are seeking a talented and motivated Privacy Manager who is best in class, with a high IQ plus a high EQ. This role presents an exciting opportunity to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment within a rapidly growing team, with abundant prospects for career advancement. Sezzle is building a formal, company-wide privacy program on the NIST Privacy Framework, and we are hiring the person who will build it and run it. This is a ground-floor build with the hard parts already cleared: executive sponsorship is in place, the implementation roadmap is defined, and the core program materials are drafted. Your job is to turn that foundation into an operating program, and then to own the program as it matures. As our Privacy Manager, you will drive the implementation end to end: the enterprise data map, the privacy risk assessments, the privacy review process, the de-identification standard, and the governance rhythm that keeps it all running.

This role sits at the intersection of privacy and product. The goal is not to slow the business down; it is to give every data initiative a fast, well-documented path to yes, including the data-driven products and analytics that are central to Sezzle’s strategy. You will ensure our data practices protect our users across the US and Canada while enabling our product and engineering teams to build at speed. What You’ll Do: - Build the program: Drive Sezzle’s implementation of the NIST Privacy Framework from roadmap to operating program, including Current and Target Profiles, gap analysis, a prioritized and costed action plan, and ongoing monitoring, aligned with US state and federal requirements (CCPA/CPRA and other state comprehensive privacy laws, GLBA, TCPA) and Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA and Quebec’s Law 25). - Run privacy review: Own privacy risk assessments and Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) for new products, features, and third-party vendors, and operate an intake and disposition process that gives every proposal a fast, documented answer: approved, approved with controls, or needs redesign. - Own the data map and consumer rights: Build and maintain the enterprise data inventory and data map in partnership with Engineering, tracking the lifecycle of consumer information, and manage the automation and fulfillment of consumer access, deletion, and opt-out requests. - Operationalize privacy-enhancing techniques: Administer Sezzle’s de-identification and aggregation standard and its approval workflow so that data-driven products and analytics ship with the right controls designed in from the start. - Embed privacy-by-design: Partner directly with Engineering, Product, and Marketing teams during early-stage development so that privacy requirements are designed in, not bolted on. - Govern, measure, and report: Run the cadence of Sezzle’s cross-functional privacy working group, maintain the program’s decision log and obligations register, track program metrics, and support executive and board-level reporting.
