About the Opportunity

ID: 26-2582Location: Edmonton, AB

The Director of Privacy is responsible for leading and building out the Corporation’s privacy management program, ensuring the Corporation meets its statutory obligations as the conduct and management entity for provincial iGaming. AiGC is a new organization standing up a new industry in Alberta, and the privacy function is being built from the ground up. The successful candidate will design, implement and lead that function end to end, including access to information, records management, privacy impact assessments, breach response and privacy oversight of operators. Reporting to the General Counsel, the role provides authoritative guidance on the collection, use, disclosure and protection of personal information within a complex regulatory environment involving private operators as agents of the AiGC. The Director of Privacy ensures that the Corporation’s data policies, procedures and oversight mechanisms are robust, defensible and aligned with Alberta’s privacy legislation, principally the Protection of Privacy Act (POPA) and the Access to Information Act (ATIA) and industry best practices. This is an opportunity that rarely presents itself: to build a privacy program in one of Canada’s newest and fastest-moving regulated industries and to set the standard for how personal information is protected in Alberta’s iGaming market.
