About this job

Deep Blue Recruitment is working with an international technology company looking to appoint an experienced Senior Privacy Counsel to join its legal team.

Operating in the enterprise technology sector, the business develops software and digital solutions for customers across a range of industries. With continued investment in emerging technologies, including AI, data protection is becoming an increasingly important consideration in how the business develops its products, manages risk and works with customers.

We're looking for a commercially minded privacy lawyer who enjoys working closely with the business, understanding how technology works and finding practical solutions to complex legal questions.

This is a broad, hands-on role combining privacy advisory work, commercial support and the continued development of internal data protection processes.

What You'll Be Doing

Advise colleagues across the business on a broad range of privacy and data protection matters, providing clear, commercially focused legal guidance.
Work closely with product, technology and commercial teams on the development of new services, ensuring privacy considerations are addressed early in the process.
Support the negotiation of commercial agreements, particularly around data processing, international transfers, customer relationships and third-party arrangements.

Advise on GDPR and other applicable international data protection regulations, helping the business understand and manage its obligations across different markets.

Provide legal guidance on emerging technologies, including AI, and the implications of new products and data processing activities from a privacy perspective.

Review and improve existing privacy policies, internal procedures and governance frameworks to ensure they remain practical and fit for purpose.

Work alongside information security and IT teams on data governance, risk assessments and privacy-related incidents.

Identify opportunities to improve the efficiency of privacy operations, including through automation and better internal processes.

Monitor regulatory developments affecting technology businesses, particularly around data protection, AI and digital services.

Provide training and guidance to colleagues across the organisation, helping non-legal teams understand their responsibilities when handling personal data.

What They're Looking For

A qualified lawyer with approximately 4-8 years experience specialising in data protection, privacy or technology law, gained in private practice, in-house or a combination of both.
Strong knowledge of GDPR and European data protection law, including regulatory guidance and its practical application within commercial organisations.
Experience advising technology businesses, ideally with exposure to software, AI, digital products or other data-intensive environments.
A good understanding of artificial intelligence technologies and the legal and regulatory challenges associated with their development and use.
Experience advising on commercial agreements involving personal data, international transfers and complex data processing arrangements.
Comfortable working directly with product, engineering and technical stakeholders, with the ability to understand complex issues and provide clear, practical legal advice.
A commercial approach to risk management, recognising that the role of legal is to help the business find workable solutions rather than simply identify problems.
Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities independently.
Experience working within an international business or advising on privacy matters across multiple jurisdictions would be beneficial.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is an opportunity to join an international technology business where privacy plays an important role in how the company operates, develops its products and works with customers.

You'll have a broad remit, working closely with different teams across the organisation on a range of commercial, operational and regulatory matters, including some of the challenges emerging technologies bring to data protection.

If you're a privacy lawyer who enjoys working closely with the business, has an interest in technology and takes a practical approach to solving legal challenges, we'd be interested in hearing from you.
