AdTech Technical Analyst

AdTech Privacy Technical Analyst (AdTech & MarTech, Privacy & Consent)

We're looking for a hands-on AdTech Privacy Technical Analyst with strong QA experience to test and assure consent compliance across a portfolio of consumer mobile apps, with a wider device estate to follow.

The role has two parts: defining a repeatable self-testing process for delivery teams, and providing second line assurance by independently verifying their results where technically possible.

Key Responsibilities

Consent Testing & Traffic Auditing

• Intercept and inspect network traffic using Proxyman, Charles Proxy and Fiddler (with Burp Suite as required), working from published app store builds and from test builds.
• Capture and audit HAR logs to identify tracking calls, identifiers, payloads and third-party endpoints.
• Use Android Logcat and Xcode Console to gather supporting evidence where HAR files are incomplete or certificate pinning limits visibility.
• Inspect SDKs and app packages using tools such as MobSF and APK Analyzer to identify undeclared or non-compliant tracking.

Self-Testing Framework & Assurance

• Define and document a repeatable self-testing process that app teams can follow, including guidance on producing HAR evidence from their own testing.
• Review HAR logs supplied by teams, including analysis within ObservePoint, and challenge gaps or inconsistencies.
• Run independent second line verification of team results, from published app store versions where possible.
• Agree test builds with engineering where HTTPS inspection needs certificate pinning disabled or the proxy trusted.
• Extend the approach to connected devices and IoT products as the device scope grows.

Analysis & Reporting

• Document findings clearly, with evidence, risk rating and recommended remediation.
• Maintain tracker inventories, data flow maps and vendor and SDK registers.
• Present results to engineering, Product, Legal and privacy stakeholders in plain language.
• Work with engineering squads, delivery managers and architects to turn findings into technical fixes.
• Contribute test criteria and acceptance checks for consent and tagging changes.
• Re-test releases, SDK updates and vendor changes to catch regressions.
• Proven technical analyst, QA or audit experience within AdTech / MarTech environments.
• Confident capturing, reading and auditing HAR files and tracking payloads.
• Mobile app testing on iOS and Android, including Logcat and Xcode Console.
• Experience dealing with certificate pinning and HTTPS inspection constraints.
• Sound understanding of GDPR, PECR, ePrivacy and ICO guidance as they apply to digital marketing.
• Strong documentation and stakeholder communication skills, with the ability to coach teams.
• Experience with ObservePoint or similar tag and privacy auditing platforms.
• SDK analysis using MobSF and APK Analyzer.
• Testing of connected devices, smart home, wearable or IoT products.
• Familiarity with tagging stacks (GTM, Tealium, server-side tagging) and CDPs.
• Privacy certification (e.g. CIPP/E, CIPT).
• Location: London & remote hybrid ( 2 days onsite)
