    Data Removal Specialist

    RemoteFull time$55,000 to $70,000

    Job description

    The Privacy Operations team is the engine behind every removal we run. We file requests with hundreds of data brokers and people-search sites, track each one through to confirmation, and make sure our members disappear from places that should never have held their information in the first place. As a Data Removal Specialist you sit at the heart of that work.

    The opportunity

    This is a hands-on role for someone who is organised, persistent, and genuinely cares about protecting people. You will own a portfolio of removal cases from start to finish, learn the quirks of each broker, and help us make the whole process faster and more reliable.

    Your key responsibilities

    • Submit and manage data removal requests across hundreds of broker and people-search sites
    • Track each case to confirmation and follow up when a broker stalls or ignores a request
    • Spot patterns in broker behaviour and flag changes that affect our removal playbooks
    • Keep member records accurate and up to date as cases move through each stage
    • Work with engineering to test and improve the tools that power removals at scale

    Skills and attributes for success

    • Sharp attention to detail and a methodical approach to repetitive work
    • Clear written communication for member updates and broker correspondence
    • Comfort learning new web tools quickly and switching between many tasks
    • A patient, problem-solving mindset when a removal does not go to plan
    • A real interest in privacy and protecting people from exposure

    What we offer you

    Competitive salary reviewed every year
    Fully remote work with flexible hours
    Generous paid time off and company-wide recharge days
    Health and wellness budget
    Home office stipend to set up your space
    Learning and development fund for courses and conferences
    Free lifetime data protection for you and your family

    If you like work that is hands-on, measurable, and protects real people every single day, we would love to hear from you.
