Privacy and legal counsel

This isn't a conventional car company. We're a new global brand that focuses on the need of the connected generation, sustainability, and a hassle-free customer experience.

Privacy and Legal Counsel
Lynk & Co is a company that is challenging the car industry. This is done e.g. via a business model that is a direct sales model without a dealership network handling the sales and distribution to the end customer, and with a monthly membership model. Lynk & Co is also pioneering in vehicle connectivity, offering cloud-powered in-car and mobile app services. This poses many opportunities but also challenges, and the role as Privacy and Legal Counsel is in this context a very important and visible role.

We are a scale-up, with the possibility and challenges that comes with that. In practice it means you need to be a driven problem solver, a person that takes initiatives and, since things can change quickly here, you can handle and quickly respond to changing priorities.

We are now looking for a Privacy and Legal Counsel to be based in Gothenburg. In this role you will report to the Head of Legal, and work together with a small (but mighty) team based in Gothenburg and Amsterdam.

What you'll do

- Inform and advice the company on data privacy and data protection requirements and related matters
- Collaborate with the information security officer to ensure alignment between security and privacy compliance programs
- Conduct privacy trainings within the organization.
- Support stakeholders with risk assessments, mitigation, and remediation.
- Support with contractual matters in legal fields such as commercial and consumer law and and IT/tech but also in other areas of law.


What you should have

- A Master of Laws degree (LL.M), with 2-3+ years of experience with legal counselling either from a law firm or as in-house legal counsel
- Experience working in data protection compliance or a related field
- Expertise in European data protection laws and practices including an in-depth understanding of GDPR
- General understanding of the function of IT architecture and systems and their impact on privacy
- Knowledge of common compliance frameworks, e.g. ISO 27000


In addition to this, we are looking for a person with the ability to be self reliable and to work independently. Since we are a scale up, you need to have a problem solving mindset with a pragmatic approach to resolving legal issues.

You will work in a tight team, with close collaboration with the business, and need to have a cooperative and teamworking spirit and constructive communication skills; the ability to translate legal matters to the business dialogue.
