ABOUT THE ROLE

• As a Digital Affairs & DPO Senior Specialist  based in the United States, you will play a senior role in Nu’s global privacy function, acting as a key point of contact for complex privacy, data protection and AI topics in the US while supporting our global privacy governance program.
• You will bridge high‑level legal strategy and day‑to‑day program execution, combining hands‑on product counseling with ownership of core privacy governance workflows (RoPA, DPIAs/PIAs, DSRs, incident response, third‑party risk, metrics) across multiple jurisdictions.
• Protecting personal data is fundamental to maintaining the fanatical trust our customers place in us. This role ensures that as Nu expands its footprint and launches data‑intensive products (including in the US), our privacy and AI governance remain compliant, scalable, business‑enabling and deeply embedded into our technology and product lifecycle.
• You will respond to the Global DPO and work closely with Legal, Compliance, IT Security, Data, Risk, and Products teams to identify and close privacy and AI‑related gaps, design pragmatic controls, and translate complex regulatory expectations (e.g., US federal and state privacy laws, LGPD, GDPR) into simple, repeatable mechanisms that enable innovation.

• Draft, review and negotiate privacy‑relevant documentation (e.g., DPAs, data sharing agreements, vendor addenda, privacy and AI notices, in‑product disclosures, terms of service and consent flows), including cross‑border data transfer mechanisms.
• Translate complex and evolving US and international privacy/AI requirements into simple, operational guidance and design patterns for squads, avoiding “legal black boxes” and enabling self‑service where possible.
