The Data Protection Senior supports privacy and data protection engagements for EY clients, including privacy assessments, compliance reviews, policy development, risk analysis, data mapping, impact assessments, and regulatory advisory work. Candidates typically need a degree in law, information technology, business, or a related field, along with several years of experience in data privacy, information security, governance, risk, or compliance. Familiarity with the Philippine Data Privacy Act, GDPR, privacy frameworks, and common security controls is valuable. Strong communication, report writing, analytical, project coordination, and stakeholder-management skills are expected. Privacy certifications such as CIPP, CIPM, or equivalent are advantageous, as is experience working with international teams and client-facing consulting projects.
EY, or Ernst & Young, is a global professional services organization providing assurance, tax, consulting, strategy, and transactions services. Its clients include multinational corporations, governments, financial institutions, and growing businesses. EY Global Delivery Services (GDS) supports EY member firms worldwide through specialist teams in areas such as technology, cybersecurity, data, finance, research, and business operations. The Philippines is an important GDS location, with offices including Manila and Cebu City. Employees commonly work on international projects and collaborate with colleagues across multiple time zones. EY emphasizes professional development, technical training, teamwork, integrity, and helping organizations manage risk and pursue transformation. Specific employment terms, benefits, working arrangements, and career progression depend on the local EY entity, service line, and position.
The Philippines offers opportunities in shared services, IT, cybersecurity, finance, healthcare, engineering, tourism, and business-process operations, especially in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao. Cebu combines a growing professional sector with beaches, heritage areas, restaurants, and a generally relaxed lifestyle; living costs are usually lower than in Manila, though housing and transport vary by neighborhood. Filipino culture is friendly, family-oriented, and community-minded, with English widely used in workplaces. The country has thousands of islands, tropical weather, and strong domestic travel options, but traffic, typhoons, humidity, and occasional infrastructure disruptions should be considered. Foreign employees generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and appropriate visa, commonly a 9(g) work visa, while short visits may use tourist entry rules. Confirm current requirements with the Philippine Bureau of Immigration and the employer before relocating. Housing, healthcare, taxation, and flights should be arranged in advance.
