Responsibilities

The Privacy and Data Protection Office (PDPO) leads and supports TikTok's global privacy efforts, making sure privacy is protected across our products, platforms, and technologies. As a technical privacy center of excellence, we partner closely with engineering, product, legal, and compliance teams to identify privacy risks and design effective technical safeguards throughout the software development lifecycle.

At TikTok's scale, protecting user data means going beyond compliance to find complex privacy vulnerabilities and emerging risks across highly distributed products and systems. We combine privacy engineering, security engineering, penetration testing, red teaming, and secure code review to surface those risks, develop mitigations, and build scalable automated assessment capabilities that protect privacy without slowing product innovation.

You will work at the intersection of privacy, security, and engineering, on real-world privacy challenges at global scale, influencing how privacy is built into products from the ground up.

- Audit & Compliance: Facilitate external audits by attending control design walkthroughs and tests of operating effectiveness. Support the maintenance and enhancement of the control framework to align with current regulations and industry standards.
- Project Management: Lead projects from conception to execution. Develop comprehensive project plans and collaborate with a wide range of technical and non-technical stakeholders to ensure timely completion.
- Program Development: Create and maintain essential program documentation, including process flows, policies, frameworks, and management reports.
- Training & Enablement: Develop and deliver internal training materials on privacy controls, certifications, and best practices to enhance organizational awareness and compliance.
- Continuous Improvement: Stay current with the latest privacy trends, digital regulations, and industry best practices to continuously strengthen the program.
