• Oversee privacy compliance efforts across the company, collaborating with legal, security, and business teams.
• Respond to customer and partner privacy inquiries, conduct AI governance and Transfer Impact Assessments (TIAs), and negotiate data protection terms.
• Manage vendor risk, including negotiating DPAs, reviewing assessments, and conducting third-party evaluations.
• Contribute to training, internal playbooks, and legal resources to strengthen privacy awareness across the organization.
• Assist with regulatory inquiries and support incident response efforts in collaboration with the security team.
• Own and operate relevant privacy processes in OneTrust.

You have...

• Fully qualified lawyer in at least one EU member state.
• Minimum 5 years of experience advising on global data protection matters and negotiating data protection-related contracts.
• Extensive hands-on experience with OneTrust.
• Proven ability to lead and manage a broad range of privacy-related projects.
• Strong collaboration skills and ability to partner effectively across functions and seniority levels.
• Excellent communication, organization, and interpersonal skills.
• A proactive, team-oriented mindset with a flexible, “can-do” attitude.
• Experience working in fast-paced, dynamic environments.
• Fluency in English and Spanish (C2 level).

Nice if you also have...

• Prior in-house experience within a high-growth technology company.
