Description

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
Assist with the development and implementation of Privacy and Data Risk Management Plans
Assist with compliance review and implement privacy risk mitigation strategies

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

Think you've got what it takes to be a Privacy Analyst? Like the colour purple? Great.

Here's a few more boxes we're also hoping you can tick:

University degree in a business, technology, law or information management discipline
A privacy certification to demonstrate knowledge of Canadian privacy law, such as IAPP CIPP/C is strongly desired, and CIPT designation is encouraged
1+ years of experience in a similar role
A strong interest in information management and privacy and a desire to build your career in privacy program management
Strong analytical and problemsolving skills
Demonstrated ability to build strong relationships in a business environment
Have an aptitude for program management including an interest in drafting policy, documenting processes, and executing program management tasks
Excellent communication skills both orally and in writing and a professional demeanour
A cando, collaborative spirit with enthusiasm for learning from your colleagues and mentors

At Grant Thornton we're focused on making a difference in the lives of our clients, our colleagues and our communities.

That's our purpose. Or, as we like to say, living our purple.
