[Hiring] Privacy Counsel @EVERSANA

Role Description

We are a forward-thinking, agile legal team dedicated to safeguarding the trust between people and the organizations that serve them. In a world where data is the new currency, we believe privacy is a fundamental right—not a privilege. Our mission is to help our internal clients and customers innovate responsibly, ensuring that personal information is handled with integrity, transparency, and compliance with evolving global regulations. As part of a health science services company, we support the responsible use of sensitive health, research, and business data in a manner that advances better outcomes while maintaining the highest standards of privacy, ethics, and compliance.

As Privacy Counsel, you will report into the Privacy Office and serve as a key member of our in-house legal team, helping shape how our company navigates the complex and rapidly changing privacy landscape. Your work will directly influence how our organization protects sensitive information, supports health science services, responds to data incidents, and designs privacy-first processes, products, and services. You won’t just interpret the law—you’ll help define and operationalize best practices that set the standard for ethical data use across our business.
