THE OPPORTUNITY

HHP operates as separate legal entities in the United States, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of

Ireland. Its UPE platform collects personal health information from users in multiple countries.

Compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, COPPA, CPRA, and MODPA depends on knowing exactly what data

HHP holds, where it flows, under what legal basis, and how long it is retained.

The Data Privacy Lead builds and maintains that picture. This role is essential to HHP's commercial

licensing strategy: no health system or insurer will sign a licensing agreement without confidence that

the underlying data program is sound.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build and maintain HHP's data inventory across all three legal entities, covering what personal

data is collected, where it is stored, how it is used, and how long it is retained

• Map cross-border data flows between the US, Northern Ireland, and Republic of Ireland entities

and identify the appropriate transfer mechanisms required under GDPR

• Maintain records of processing activities (RoPA) as required under GDPR Article 30
• Advise on data minimization, purpose limitation, and retention schedule design
• Support the development and implementation of user consent mechanisms and privacy notices
• Advise on data subject rights processes (access, deletion, correction, portability) under applicable

frameworks

• Participate in the Security and Privacy Council

QUALIFICATIONS

We welcome applications from students, early-career professionals, and practitioners returning to the

workforce. Demonstrated skills and relevant coursework are considered alongside formal experience.

Required:

• Substantive knowledge of GDPR, including cross-border transfer rules, lawful basis for

processing, and records of processing requirements

• Familiarity with at least one US privacy framework (HIPAA, CPRA, or MODPA)
• Experience conducting data mapping or building data inventories in a multi-entity or multi-

jurisdiction organization

• Strong analytical and documentation skills

Preferred:

• Experience with international data transfer mechanisms including standard contractual clauses

and adequacy decisions

• Knowledge of children's data protection requirements under COPPA and GDPR
• Certifications such as CIPP/E, CIPP/US, CIPM, or CIPT
• Experience in healthcare, health technology, or a regulated industry handling sensitive personal

data
