Job Description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Legal Counsel AI & GDPR based in Netherlands.

As Legal Counsel AI & GDPR, you will play a key role in shaping and managing the organization’s global data protection and AI governance framework. You will translate complex privacy regulations and emerging AI requirements into practical, business-oriented legal guidance. Working closely with the legal team and cross-functional departments, you will support compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Your responsibilities will also extend beyond privacy, covering commercial contracts, employment law, and international business expansion. This is an opportunity to contribute to strategic initiatives in a fast-paced, remote-first environment. You will have the autonomy to take ownership of legal matters while collaborating with an international team.

Accountabilities

In this role, you will help strengthen the organization’s legal and compliance framework while ensuring that data protection and AI governance practices remain aligned with evolving regulations and business priorities.

  • Manage day-to-day GDPR operations, including drafting and negotiating Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with international vendors and clients.

  • Conduct vendor privacy assessments and maintain accurate records of processing activities and privacy notices across multiple jurisdictions.

  • Support the development and implementation of the organization’s AI governance framework, helping ensure readiness for the EU AI Act and monitoring relevant regulatory developments.

  • Handle data subject access requests and other privacy-related inquiries.

  • Advise on commercial contracts and contribute to broader legal matters beyond data protection.

  • Support international business expansion, including the establishment of new legal entities worldwide.

  • Address employment law matters across different countries and provide guidance to internal departments on local legal requirements.

  • Collaborate with legal colleagues and specialized teams to identify risks, develop practical solutions, and maintain organizational compliance.

Requirements

The ideal candidate combines practical data protection experience with strong legal research capabilities, commercial awareness, and an interest in emerging AI regulations.

  • A law degree or equivalent legal qualification.

  • At least 1–2 years of hands-on data protection experience gained in-house, in a law firm, or in a consultancy.

  • Practical knowledge of GDPR requirements and their application in a business environment.

  • A genuine interest in AI regulation and the evolving legal landscape surrounding artificial intelligence.

  • Strong legal research and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret new guidance and case law and translate findings into clear, actionable advice.

  • An interest in commercial contracts and employment law matters beyond privacy.

  • A structured, pragmatic, and self-organized approach, with the ability to manage responsibilities independently in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.

  • Business-fluent English.

Additional experience that would be an advantage:

  • A recognized privacy certification, such as CIPP/E.

  • Knowledge or professional experience in employment law.

  • Legal education or professional experience in a major Asian jurisdiction, such as China, Japan, South Korea, or Singapore.

  • Cross-border professional or academic experience, including having studied or worked in multiple countries.

  • Experience drafting and negotiating various types of contracts in English.

  • Previous exposure to HR technology, SaaS, global employment solutions, Employer of Record (EOR) services, or non-EU privacy frameworks.

Benefits

  • Remote-first flexibility: Work remotely with the flexibility to work from different locations through the WorkFlex program.

  • Well-being support: A dedicated Well-Being Day to recharge and focus on personal well-being.

  • Fitness benefits: Subsidized gym memberships to support an active lifestyle.

  • Learning and development: A Training & Development Allowance to help expand your professional skills and knowledge.

  • Team connection: Annual team meetups and opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across different countries.
