We are looking for a Privacy, Security and AI Compliance Specialist to help run and maintain Napster’s privacy, security, AI governance, and compliance framework across our global organization. The Role The Privacy, Security and AI Compliance Specialist will be responsible for assisting with implementing, operating, and maintaining Napster’s privacy fundamentals, security, PIMS procedures, incident handling, data mapping, vendor/privacy risk, and AI governance compliance programs across our global operations. This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable taking day-to-day charge of the documentation, and registers behind several compliance programs at once. You will help support and maintain Napster’s Privacy Information Management System (PIMS), Information Security Management System (ISMS), and AI Management System (AIMS), and assist with compliance efforts across ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 42001, SOC 2, and other applicable privacy and security frameworks. Working under the Operations Department, you’ll work closely with other teams to translate regulatory, contractual, and certification requirements into practical processes that can scale with the company. Responsibilities Privacy & Compliance Support the operation and maintenance of Napster's Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) and supporting privacy compliance framework, as defined by the program.

Maintain data maps, records of processing activities, retention requirements, and data subject request processes across applicable jurisdictions. Document and review controller and processor classifications for new and existing controllers and processors as relevant, and the appropriate privacy controls for Napster’s processing activities.

Assist with readiness and gap assessments. Assist with the maintenance of audit-ready policies, standards, procedures, controls, and supporting documentation. Source of Truth & Ongoing Operation Maintain the register of approved vendors, sub-processors, and tools, including which are approved for which markets, whether a vendor has infrastructure in the required region, and under what data residency and transfer conditions. Act as the first point of contact for internal teams on whether a given vendor, tool, or processing activity is approved for a given market or use case, and give a clear answer with alternatives where they exist.
