Privacy Program Manager

We are seeking an experienced and pragmatic Privacy Program Manager to build and lead the Privacy Program across PlayOn Sports. You will own PlayOn's privacy program governance by serving as the company's subject matter expert, translating that expertise into program decisions, risk assessments, and remediation work. You report directly to the CISO and will work closely with Legal, Data Governance, Engineering, and external privacy counsel, operating as the expert the business turns to before making decisions that touch personal data.

The ideal candidate brings 3–5 years of privacy program experience in a consumer-facing technology environment, has operationalized privacy compliance from the inside (not just read the statutes), understands the practical implications for products that serve minors or schools, and is comfortable working in a model where they own the privacy governance layer while partnering with operational teams throughout the business.

Comprehensive Privacy Program – Forward looking program with privacy risk decisions embedded in product, vendor, and before launch, that meets required Privacy statutes

Compliance management – Lead GRC programs including expanding compliance capabilities, drive adoption of continuous monitoring and testing and manage reporting capabilities.

Drive compliance remediation work in partnership with Legal and external privacy counsel.

Conduct Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) for new products, features, and vendor relationships, surfacing real risk and driving resolution, not just documenting it.

Maintain Records of Processing Activities (ROPA) and the company-wide data inventory; validate accuracy across all three product platforms.

Participate in the Data Privacy Council (DPC) as the privacy program's subject matter expert.

Maintain and update external-facing privacy policies, internal notices, and employee data handling guidelines.

Conduct vendor privacy risk assessments during onboarding and annual vendor reviews.

Support GRC program, including evidence collection for Compliance reports and audits, e.g. Own the security questionnaire response process for customer and prospect privacy inquiries.

Track and report privacy program metrics, open risks, and remediation progress to the CISO.

3–5 years of privacy program experience at a consumer-facing technology company — operational track record, not just policy or legal advisory.

• Working knowledge of COPPA and the practical implications for products serving minors or educational institutions.
• Experience conducting PIAs and privacy risk assessments that produce actionable decisions, not just documentation.
• Familiarity with data mapping and ROPA methodology — you have built or maintained a data inventory before.
• Strong written communication: clear privacy notices, precise questionnaire responses, no marketing language.
• Ability to work across Legal, Data Governance, and Engineering, each with different incentives and vocabulary.
• GRC platform familiarity (Vanta, Hyperproof, Drata, or equivalent) — evidence workflows and control mappings.
• COPPA operational experience for student or minor-facing consumer products is strongly preferred.
• PCI DSS familiarity is a plus — GoFan processes payment data across ticketing products.

You work to rally around common goals, find win-win solutions, compromise when necessary, and help others succeed.

You consider long-term impact rather than relying on short-term gains, proactively seek others' perspectives, and manage emotions in decision-making.

Through GoFan, NFHS Network, and MaxPreps, we give every fan a front-row seat to the moments that matter most: the buzzer-beaters, the comeback wins, the senior nights, the rivalries that define a town.

We built our technology for the people who live and breathe high school athletics — the parents who never miss a game, the alumni still cheering from across the country, the communities that show up week after week. Schools trust us to handle ticketing, streaming, fundraising, concessions, merchandise, and more so the people running programs can stay focused on the athletes and fans we all serve together.

We're a growth-stage company on a mission to make high school sports more accessible, more memorable, and more connected than ever before.

We're a leader in the high school event space, constantly evolving our product to meet the needs of administrators. You'll have opportunities to grow your skills, tackle meaningful problems, and make a difference in the lives of schools and the students and fans they serve.
