You will encounter a variety of tasks, including:

• Improving our existing Privacy (and Data/AI) by Design framework for product development in collaboration with key stakeholders from relevant functions across the business.
• Supporting stakeholders with advice on various questions regarding tech regulations e.g. advice on proposals for new app functionalities, review of privacy notices for apps and fitting software, general advice to developers on legal restrictions and possibilities.
• Monitoring legal developments within digital regulations and in relation to new technologies to make sure we are ahead of regulatory change impacting our products and services.
• Training colleagues – especially our colleagues in R&D, IT, and our Data Privacy Champions on digital regulations.

Furthermore, you will also be working closely with the rest of the team including our Group Data Protection Officer and our Head of Group Privacy & Compliance.

The job is located at our headquarters in Smørum, from where you have a flexible working environment with possibility to work from home up to two days per week. Your manager will be Head of Group Privacy & Compliance, Sara Munch Andersen.

Become part of Group Privacy & Compliance Team

You will become part of our international Group Privacy & Compliance team consisting of two specialist subgroups (Data Privacy and Legal Compliance). This position is for the privacy/legal tech-leg of the team. All team members are enthusiastic about supporting our business with compliance while we are also trying to have a great time doing so. The tone is informal, and your input will be valued and encouraged.

The team is a part of the larger Demant Group Legal & Compliance. The group in Denmark consists of more than 20 highly skilled and motivated colleagues with a great team spirit. Globally, we have more than 60 team members and common for all is our profound dedication to support our business grow responsibly.

We believe that the best results come from a team effort based on trust and openness. We support each other and provide feedback and knowledge to provide the best legal advice. We believe in virtues like honesty, integrity and respect.

What we are looking for

The work requires good project management skills, a curious mindset as well as a collaborative approach, as most of your work will be about designing processes, reviewing solutions and helping our colleagues succeed with their product development.

We are looking for a new colleague with the following qualifications:

• A degree in law (cand.jur., cand.merc.jur. or equivalent degree if you are educated outside of Denmark).
• Several years of experience from working as in-house legal counsel, at a law firm or consulting firm, or with other legal experience.

• A structured approach and good skills at organizing process flows to help translating legal requirements into technical requirements to developers/engineers/IT.  
• Good communication skills, both written and verbal with the ability to explain complex information in a clear, concise and compelling manner.
