Millions of people use Notion — and this number is increasing every day. Our users depend on us to deliver a secure and trustworthy experience, and we value this more than anything. We want to keep building on that trust, while also continuing to amaze our users with the tools they can build in Notion. This is where you come in — You will be one of the first privacy and risk interns and will help us forge a strong, reliable path forward to Notion’s future.

During your 12-week internship, you will be paired with a mentor that will help guide you as you work closely with our team to build and ship impactful risk-focused projects. These projects will drive valuable impact to our customers.

WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE:

- Build your privacy and risk knowledge by supporting our privacy operations team in responding to regulatory and customer requests.

- Coordinate and build risk reporting materials that are communicated to company leadership.

- Maintain configurations and workflows in our operational tools, monitor SLAs, and use your own insights to surface opportunities to automate or simplify team procedures.

- Work with cross-functional partners throughout the business to learn about their functions and how privacy and risk impact and advance their respective areas.

- Communicate your insights with actionable recommendations to cross-functional teams (insights are useful; impact is even better!)

- Previous internship experience.

- Have an interest in working towards a proficiency in one or more certifications in privacy or security, such as CIPP, CIPT, or CISSP.

- You find large, collaborative challenges exciting and enjoy discovering problems as much as solving them.

- This internship will take place from May – September 2026 (based on your summer schedule) and you will need to be able to work out of our NY office during this time.

SKILLS YOU’LL NEED TO BRING:

- Thoughtful problem-solving: For you, problem-solving starts with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You can deconstruct tricky problems and work towards a clean solution, either independently or in collaboration with others. You're comfortable asking for help when you get stuck.

- Put users first: You think critically about the implications of your role at Notion, and how it shapes real people's lives. You understand that reach comes with responsibility for our impact—good and bad.

- Growth Mindset: You put education at the forefront of your goals, driving your tasks and responsibilities at school, work, or home with a relentless curiosity and drive to learn more.

- Empathetic communication: You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining complex decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed.

- Team player: For you, work isn't a solo endeavor. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same.

NICE TO HAVES:
