The role reports to a highly experienced, caring and ethical individual who is extremely easy to work with, keen to support, develop and give responsibility. You would be able to carve out your own areas of regional and global responsibility based on your interests and skills. The role is about the results and not about the hours you put in – there is high degree of flexibility about the total hours, starting and finishing time, part-time etc. All company employees have the option to work from home 2 days a week, and for this role it can be more if needed.

The quality of people is outstanding – the company is very selective. You would be working with some of the brightest and most intelligent legal professionals in technology.

The company has a strong focus around culture, integrity and respect for the individual – the atmosphere is trusting and empowering.

The legal team is truly amazing as you would expect for a global leading well-known organisation. The colleagues in Legal and Privacy are fantastic professionals but also great people to work with and further learn from.

This is a perfect company in which to really develop and push yourself. The legal team enjoys excellent regular training, coaching and mentoring from the managers and huge personal development opportunities. If you are interested in progressing in your career, moving abroad or have an interest in another legal area, it is easy to do so. Your manager will be keen to make sure you are using your true talents, that you are happy in your role and that you are progressing.

The company offers unlimited training and development opportunities. The role is already great but there is a lot of potential too to develop responsibilities further.

The role offers a strategic focus within the global privacy and security legal team and encompasses providing legal support on new technology initiatives, reviewing privacy impact assessments, supporting the global Privacy Director and team of privacy analysts, working with the Global Privacy Policy team, and providing training and awareness as necessary within the company, as well as implementing the GDPR compliance programme.

The role offers excellent salary, as well as all possible bonuses and benefits as would be expected from a highly reputable world leading organisation.
