What’s the mission you’ll drive

Drive Addi’s privacy and AI governance, as Data Protection Officer and trusted partner to the General Counsel and Head of Legal, to keep Addi compliant with Colombian regulation and in good standing with the SIC and SFC, ensuring the business can use data and AI lawfully, quickly, and with confidence.

What you will do

Lead Addi’s privacy program across all of its entities. This includes assessing compliance against applicable regulations, defining priorities, and driving remediation.

Maintain a clear view of how personal data flows through the company, including legal bases, counterparties, and regulatory registrations. Keep it current as new products, entities, and funding structures appear.

Work with the Data and Cybersecurity teams to add a privacy layer to Addi’s data governance, covering data classification, legal basis for each use, retention, and data minimization.

Prepare and advise on incident response, including legal risk assessment, stakeholder coordination, and regulatory reporting.

Join product, alliance, and vendor discussions from the start. Review launches that touch personal data before go-live, in a way that helps the business move forward and doesn’t slow it down.

Negotiate and review data processing agreements and cross-border transfer terms with cloud and technology vendors.

Design and run an AI governance framework for both product AI (credit models, automated decisions, customer-facing agents) and internal AI tools. This covers use-case inventory, risk-based review, proportional approval paths, and rules for AI vendors.

Use AI tools to make legal and privacy work faster, for example to handle routine consultations and contract reviews, so you can focus on complex judgment calls.

Manage external advisors when you need extra or specialized capacity.

Represent Addi on privacy and AI matters before regulators, and take part in industry working groups and public consultations, including through Colombia Fintech.

What we’re looking for

Proven experience in Colombian data protection law and regulatory practice

Licensed lawyer with 10+ years of total legal/compliance experience, including at least 6 years specifically in data protection/privacy.

Direct experience interacting with the SIC (Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio) — filings, inquiries. Having worked at the SIC is a strong plus.
