Descrição da oferta de emprego

At Axians, we value talent, not labels. We believe in a culture of inclusion, where everyone has a place and all applications are considered based on merit, without discrimination.

This is your opportunity to join an international group with a project that needs you to help meet the challenges of digital transformation.

What You'll Do

• Own the AI data protection gate for AI use cases developed within Central AI, including preparation of decision-ready evidence and clear go/no-go recommendations;
• Translate data protection and regulatory requirements (e.g. GDPR, EU AI Act, GLS Group Data Protection Framework, internal policies) into clear actionable technical guidance for AI engineers and platform teams;
• Ensure that data protection requirements are embedded into system design and implementation, enabling AI teams to build compliant solutions by design;
• Establish and maintain comprehensive, structured, and up-to-date documentation (e.g. data flows, RoPAs, design decisions, controls, and safeguards) that allows for efficient review and oversight by Data Protection functions;
• Carry out privacy risk assessments (e.g. DPIA and AI risk analysis) for AI use cases, identifying risks related to personal data processing, model behavior, and system architecture;
• Define and drive the implementation of pragmatic mitigation measures, working hands‑on with engineering teams to ensure risks are effectively addressed;
• Act as a bridge between engineering and data protection functions, ensuring that technical implementations are transparent, reviewable, and aligned with compliance expectations;
• Enable scalable governance by ensuring that technical implementations and documentation provide clear, auditable evidence of compliance and accountability;
• Embed data protection by design and by default across AI use cases, agents and platform integrations, with strong attention to lawful basis, purpose limitation, data minimization, retention and transparency;
• Coordinate handling of data subject rights requests involving AI systems and ensure readiness for AI‑related personal data incidents in collaboration with AI Security and central DP teams.
• Regarding Positioning and scope clarity this position acts as the first line data protection role within AI delivery (embedded in build and deployment, not a separate review function).

What We're Looking For

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or similar technical field (or equivalent experience) with additional legal qualification (eg. LL.B., LL.M., CIP/E) in an EU jurisdiction or fully qualified lawyer in an EU jurisdiction with additional technology experience (eg. CIP/T);
• 3+ years of experience, ideally in an international corporation;
• Strong working knowledge of the GDPR;
• Solid technical grounding in how modern AI systems work - LLMs, RAG, vector stores, agents, tool use;
• Experience with DPIAs, international data transfers and data subject rights at scale;
• Strong stakeholder management and ability to challenge solution design
• Pragmatic, outcome‑driven, comfortable operating under ambiguity;
• Fluent English; additional European language is a plus.
