About the Role

Data Protection Lawyer

The Opportunity

Tired of data protection work that never gets past the checklist stage? This role gives you a genuine seat at the table, shaping how a major organisation handles the legal side of connected vehicle technology and the data it generates.

You will not be drafting the same declarations on repeat. You will be assessing brand new digital products before they launch and helping define the standards the business works to.

The Role

  • Advise business units across the organisation on all data protection matters.
  • Assess new digital products from a legal standpoint and review data flows in connected vehicles.
  • Develop the data protection strategy further, and draft standards, template contracts and declarations.
  • Work closely with the Data Protection Officer, the Chief Digital Officer and data protection coordinators across departments.

The Company

Our client is a large, service-oriented organisation working at the intersection of connected vehicle technology and digital product development. Data protection sits close to the centre of the business here, not on the sidelines, with direct lines into senior leadership including the Chief Digital Officer.

What You'll Need

  • Fully qualified lawyer, both German state examinations (Volljurist).
  • At least 2 years' experience as a lawyer or in-house counsel specialising in data protection, in a law firm or a company.
  • Comfortable working across new subject areas and solving problems independently.
