Privacy Analyst

**Who we are**
You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Grant Thornton. Except here we’re all professionals and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. What we’re trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ over 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

**As a Privacy Analyst your responsibilities will include**:

- Assist with research into relevant privacy legislation to develop and maintain current privacy program documentation and policies
- Support the data incident management process and response to requests for information about the privacy program and policies
- Support internal projects and processes such as procurement and vendor management and Information Technology Projects to provide guidance and advice for the procurement of technology solutions and the design and deployment of operational and technical solutions that employ a lifecycle approach including the principle of privacy by design
- Assist with privacy impact assessments (PIAs)
- Assist with the assessment of data sensitivity classifications
- Collaborate with the Enterprise Records Manager to develop data retention and disposal plans/strategies for personal information

**Be Grant Thornton**
If you’re a bit like us, you’re driven to connect with how others are feeling and thinking. Here we walk in others shoes before taking action. Just imagine being part of a team that puts “we before me”, where flexAbility is a mindset, and where you trust your colleagues to have your back. At Grant Thornton, you’ll work with inspiring leaders who support your development, both personally and professionally. This is a place where your insatiable curiosity enables you to think, see and hear from a variety of perspectives, a place where every day is different and having the courage to grow is part of who you are. And when all this comes together, well that’s when the magic happens
