Job Description

About TaskUs: TaskUs is a provider of outsourced digital services and next-generation customer experience to fast-growing technology companies, helping its clients represent, protect and grow their brands. Leveraging a cloud-based infrastructure, TaskUs serves clients in the fastest-growing sectors, including social media, e-commerce, gaming, streaming media, food delivery, ride-sharing, HiTech, FinTech, and HealthTech.

The People First culture at TaskUs has enabled the company to expand its workforce to approximately 45,000 employees globally. Presently, we have a presence in twenty-three locations across twelve countries, which include the Philippines, India, and the United States.

It started with one ridiculously good idea to create a different breed of Business Processing Outsourcing (BPO)! We at TaskUs understand that achieving growth for our partners requires a culture of constant motion, exploring new technologies, being ready to handle any challenge at a moment's notice, and mastering consistency in an ever-changing world.

What We Offer: At TaskUs, we prioritize our employees well-being by offering competitive industry salaries and comprehensive benefits packages. Our commitment to a People First culture is reflected in the various departments we have established, including Total Rewards, Wellness, HR, and Diversity. We take pride in our inclusive environment and positive impact on the community. Moreover, we actively encourage internal mobility and professional growth at all stages of an employee's career within TaskUs. Join our team today and experience firsthand our dedication to supporting People First.

Key Responsibilities

  • Strategic Leadership: Develop and execute a global privacy roadmap that aligns with

TaskUs's rapid growth and expansion into new markets (including North America,

Europe, Asia, and Latin America).

  • Regulatory Guardrail: Act as the subject matter expert on global privacy laws including

GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, and VCDPA, as well as emerging AI-specific regulations.

  • Commercial Support & Negotiations: Partner with Sales and Legal to negotiate complex

Data Processing Addendums (DPAs) and represent TaskUs's privacy program during

high-stakes client audits and RFPs.

  • AI & Innovation Oversight: Partner with the Product and AI Operations teams to ensure

our use of generative AI and machine learning models is ethical, transparent, and

compliant with our Global AI Policy.

  • Privacy by Design: Embed privacy requirements into the lifecycle of new product

development and client onboarding processes.

  • Third-Party Governance: Oversee the privacy due diligence and lifecycle management of

all third-party vendors and sub-processors to ensure downstream compliance.

  • Incident Management: Lead the Global Privacy Incident Response Team, ensuring swift,

compliant, and transparent handling of any potential data breaches.

  • Audit & Compliance: Oversee Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) and manage

third-party privacy audits (e.g., SOC2, ISO 27001, ISO 27701) in collaboration with

InfoSec.

  • Advocacy & Training: Foster a culture of privacy awareness across our global frontline,

ensuring our People-First mission extends to how we protect individual data rights.

  • People Leadership & Development: Lead and scale a multidisciplinary global privacy

team. You will be responsible for workload distribution, professional development, and

performance management, ensuring the team is equipped to support a 24/7 global

business model.

Qualifications

  • Experience: 10+ years of experience in data privacy, legal, or compliance, with at least 5

years in a global leadership role-ideally within the BPO, SaaS, or Tech sectors - directly

jurisdictions.

  • Education: JD or equivalent advanced degree preferred; Bachelor's degree in Law, IT, or

Business required.
