Our portfolio includes Tinder, Hinge, Match, OkCupid, Plenty Of Fish, and others, each designed to spark meaningful connections for singles worldwide. \nWe’re a technology company at heart, building products used by millions of people to create real connections. Privacy is central to that mission - helping users feel safe, respected, and in control of their data. \nRole overview\nWe're looking for a Senior Privacy Counsel based in Vancouver to join our global Privacy Team. The role has two core focus areas:\nCybersecurity. You'll be a central member of Match Group's incident response team by providing guidance on breach assessments, regulatory notification obligations, and incident handling strategy across all jurisdictions globally. Incidents are unpredictable and time-sensitive; when one hits, this work takes priority.\n\nGlobal emerging privacy, cyber, and data regulation. You'll lead the team's forward-looking work on new laws, regulatory guidance, enforcement decisions, and court rulings, including in fast-moving areas like AI. This work runs on longer timelines, which means it flexes around incident response when needed.\n\nBeyond these two focus areas, you'll be a full member of the Privacy Team and pitch in on the day-to-day work that keeps a global privacy program running. That means everything from developing internal guidance and playbooks to supporting privacy assessments, audits, and cross-functional governance work. It's the kind of role where your core focus is clear, but no two weeks look exactly the same.\nWhen it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life (IRL). We think the same is true for creating the best teams, so this hybrid role will have you in our beautiful new office three days a week (spoiler alert: it features a barista, stunning views and regular happy hours).\nHow you’ll make an impact\nServe as lead counsel for global cybersecurity matters as a core member of Match Group's incident response team by advising on breach assessment, regulatory notification obligations, and legal strategy across jurisdictions\n\nMonitor, interpret, and operationalize emerging privacy, cyber, and data laws around the world, including horizon scanning, gap analysis, and translating new obligations into actionable compliance programs, from AI to biometrics to breach notification\n\nPartner with the Security team on vendor risk assessments, audits, and compliance frameworks\n\nAdvise product and engineering teams on privacy-by-design as new features and data flows take shape\n\nDevelop and maintain internal legal guidance, policies, and playbooks\n\nContribute to Match Group's global privacy program, supporting audits, assessments, and cross-functional governance initiatives\n\nWe could be a match if you:\nAre a qualified lawyer with a law degree and bar admission in BC\n\nHave 5+ years of legal experience, with meaningful focus on privacy, cybersecurity, AI and/or technology law\n\nHave hands-on experience advising on cybersecurity incident response, including regulatory notification obligations across multiple jurisdictions\n\nHave working knowledge of the GDPR, PIPEDA, US state privacy and cybersecurity laws, and a willingness to acquire knowledge of laws further afield\n\nUnderstand how digital products work - data flows, APIs, SDKs, AI/ML - and can engage credibly with technical and product teams\n\nAre an effective legal communicator who can advise senior leadership and translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable guidance\n\nThrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and can manage multiple high-priority matters simultaneously\n\nAre a self-starter who takes initiative and exercises sound independent legal judgment, knowing when to escalate and when to resolve\n\nHold IAPP certifications\n\nAre comfortable applying AI tools in your own work to improve efficiency and output quality\n\nAre committed to continuous learning in a regulatory landscape that never stands still\n\nWhat’s the team like?\nOn this close-knit global team, you will have the opportunity to work both collaboratively and independently on exciting privacy challenges.\n\nIndividuals on this team manage multiple projects simultaneously, are autonomous and self-motivated team players with a keen interest in privacy, possess superior communication skills, collaborate effectively with stakeholders, and have excellent project management skills.\n\nA successful Privacy Counsel will be trusted to bring independent legal judgment to novel problems, shape how Match Group responds to a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, and build something that didn't exist before.\n\nWhy Match Group?\nGenerous vacation, flex days, professional development days\n\nRRSP matching, and employee stock purchase plan\n\nProfessional development budget and unlimited access to Udemy from day one\n\nMatch Group mentorship program\n\nParental leave top up and fertility preservation benefits\n\nExtended health & dental benefits from day one\n\nCorporate ClassPass membership and other wellness benefits\n\nFor a complete list of benefits, see our careers page\n\nMatch Group is an equal opportunity employer and we value the rich dynamics that diversity brings to our group.\nIf you require reasonable accommodation to complete a job application, pre-employment testing, or a job interview or to otherwise participate in the hiring process, please let your Talent Acquisition partner know.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5508,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous
