The Profile We Are Looking For:
- Experience: You have at least 5 years of relevant experience in advisory, data governance, or GDPR compliance roles.
- GDPR Expertise: You have strong expertise in data privacy regulations (experience with HR/Talent data is a major plus, but we are open to candidates from other industries!).
