About the role

  • Own dataset provenance, training-data summaries, DPIAs, and the privacy and compliance posture of Reflection AI's training and evaluation data - so that every model we ship has auditable, regulator-grade evidence of its data lineage, licensing, privacy posture, and risk mitigations.

Responsibilities

  • Own Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) end-to-end: drive them to completion with Legal, and publish DPIA outputs alongside model documentation to meet EU AI Act and GDPR expectations.
  • Enforce prohibited-source and license controls at data intake - preventing risky or non-compliant data from ever reaching a training run - and maintain a verified provenance and approval log for all vendor datasets.
  • Assemble and maintain defensible evidence bundles - data manifests, DPIAs, consent and license records - into the enterprise evidence store so that audits and customer security reviews are straightforward and fast.
  • Log data findings in the risk register, drive remediation with the relevant owners, and report residual risk to governance forums and senior leadership on a regular cadence.
  • Partner with Research, Engineering, Legal, and Security to establish data ownership structures, access controls, and stewardship practices across all training, evaluation, and internal data assets.
  • Champion a culture of data literacy and responsible data use - building runbooks, intake checklists, and guidelines that help teams make confident, compliant decisions without bottlenecking on you
  • Reflection is a research lab making intelligence open and accessible for everyone to use, customize, and build on.
  • We build open models that let anyone control their intelligence and help shape the future of AI.
  • Sponsorship support: We sponsor visas to help exceptional talent join our team and support long-term immigration pathways where applicable.
  • Team building: We have regular off-sites, happy hours, and team celebrations.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in data governance, data privacy, or a closely related discipline - with meaningful experience at a technology company handling large-scale or sensitive datasets.
  • Deep working knowledge of GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and the EU AI Act - and the ability to translate regulatory requirements into concrete, operationalizable policies and controls.
  • Experience with training data provenance, dataset licensing, and consent management in an ML or AI context - you understand why labeler provenance and data lineage matter for model accountability, not just compliance.
  • Familiarity with compliance-as-code approaches: you've worked with or built automated data validation gates, policy-enforcement pipelines, or pre-deployment checks tied to data quality and compliance metadata.

Nice to have

  • Relevant certifications (CDMP, CIPP/E, or similar) are a plus - but track record and demonstrated impact matter more than credentials.

  • Salary and equity structured to recognize and retain our talent globally.
  • Health & wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life, with an annual wellness allowance.
