We don't believe in taking shortcuts and have a desire to always build sustainable compliance solutions. And now, you can be part of that,” explains Head of Compliance, Region Europe Heine Husted Hansen. Welcome to our compliance community. You will be part of the very experienced EU compliance team, which consists of 5 compliance experts who work together from different locations across Europe. One is working from the Hamburg office, where you will be based too. Here, you will also be greeted by the local legal team, welcoming you to a very collaborative environment. Moreover: “You can look forward to collaborating with compliance colleagues in the US, Europe, and APEC countries e.g. on privacy compliance requests. All in all, you'll join a truly international environment,” Heine concludes.
Ensure that our customers and end-users' data remains private and protected.
Acting as our subject matter expert, you will be responsible for data privacy in the EU region as well as in our emerging markets across the globe. As such, you will make sure that GDPR rules as well as any local data privacy requirements are always observed and adhered to. Just as you will ensure that our customers' and users' data is protected in the best way possible.
Doing so, you will be spending your time familiarising yourself with legislation and ensuring that we have the right processes in place. You are also ready to drop whatever you might be working on to handle data breaches, should they occur. In addition, you can look forward to:
