What Makes This Role Different

You’re selling something buyers actually want to see: credible proof that a company takes privacy seriously. Our seal matters because it’s backed by Common Sense Media’s 20-year reputation and rigorous independent evaluation.

When companies earn our seal, they can prove their privacy practices to skeptical buyers. You’re not just selling software—you’re helping companies earn a credential that builds trust.

You’ll have the opportunity to shape which markets we pursue and help define our expansion strategy.
