About The Role As a Privacy Consultant at IQWorks, you will be the privacy expert our enterprise clients rely on. You will interpret DPDP, GDPR, and PDPL obligations for real businesses, translate them into practical compliance programs, and operationalize those programs in ComplyIQ, ConsentIQ, and the wider IQWorks platform. You will run assessments and gap reviews, build records of processing, shape consent and notice frameworks, stand up data principal rights processes, and work alongside client teams to get the work done rather than hand over a slide deck.

This is a client-facing role based in Mumbai, with regular local travel to client sites. We are looking for a technology generalist as much as a privacy specialist — you do not need to write code, but you should be comfortable with how data, systems, and applications fit together, because privacy advice that ignores the technology rarely survives an implementation. We support hybrid working and flexible schedule, and we look for people who bring the consistency and responsiveness that client work depends on.

This is a high-ownership role with room to grow into leading a privacy practice as we scale.

Strong technology fundamentals — comfortable reasoning about data, applications, databases, and integrations; no coding experience required

Excellent communication and presentation skills — you can hold a room with legal, compliance, security, and IT stakeholders
