About Ketch
Our mission is to equip businesses with new tools that harness the power of data while ensuring consumers have control over the data wherever it goes, however it's used. We reject a zero-sum world where consumer data is protected at the expense of business goals.
Businesses can honor the data dignity of their customers, while leveraging privacy and security tools that let them unlock and preserve the power of data for core operations and competitive initiatives. Consumers and businesses can both prosper.
Ketch is founded and led by data management veterans and serial entrepreneurs who've successfully built and scaled enterprise systems for the world's largest brands, media companies, and user platforms. Ketch has completed successful end-to-end deployments in several large, medium-sized and small companies.
About the role
Ketch is looking for an experienced privacy professional based in the EU/UK to evangelize for Ketch’s next generation data privacy and governance software and serve as a data privacy subject matter expert to support sales efforts.
This is a cross-functional role that will call on a diverse and unique skillset: substantive data privacy expertise, skills and enthusiasm for business development, ability to explain technical software capabilities, and a strong network and the skills to leverage it on behalf of Ketch.
A familiarity with the EU data protection legal landscape--laws and regulations, major developments and trends, important conferences and gatherings, prominent thought leaders--is a must.
In this role you will
- Monitor European relevant data protection legal developments and trends and serve as a locally-expert resource for the rest of Ketch
- Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) for the Ketch sales team in Europe, including regularly attending sales meetings/pitches to both explain and persuade
- Attend relevant conferences/maintain active membership in relevant organizations to effectively spread knowledge about and interest in Ketch
- Collaborate with Ketch Product Marketing to generate content/collateral directed toward the EU/UK market
- Identify, establish, and nurture revenue-generating partnerships with European law firms and legal consultants. There is powerful synergy between Ketch’s cutting-edge, programmatic privacy software and the expert counseling that outside counsel/advisors give their clients: Ketch can take those clients the last mile from knowing what they need to do, to getting it done.
Desired qualifications
- A law degree (European or American acceptable)
- Law firm and/or in-house practice experience, the latter preferably in a technology company
- The role will be remote, located in Europe/UK.
