Deine Aufgaben

This role sits at the intersection of law, business processes, and technology. This is not a purely monitoring role. You will actively shape how data protection works in practice across a global MedTech organization. The focus is privacy as an enabler of scalable, defensible business operations. You will work closely with business functions like, IT, Legal, Risk, and Audit, with full end-to-end responsibility.

- Take ownership of cross-functional processes involving personal data and redesign them into pragmatic, auditable, and business-ready solutions.
- Act as a trusted privacy sparring partner for functions such as HR, Procurement, Sales, Marketing, and IT, providing clear, risk-based advice on operational and tactical initiatives.
- Drive privacy projects from idea to implementation, including scoping, stakeholder alignment, timelines, and deliverables.
- Identify privacy risks in processes, systems, and products early, assess their relevance, and define proportionate mitigation measures.
- Perform and support privacy assessments, define safeguards, and translate legal requirements into concrete operational controls.
- Negotiate and review contracts with data protection relevance, focusing on feasibility and enforceability rather than theory.
- Contribute to global privacy initiatives and ensure regional implementation aligns with corporate strategy and standards.
- Continuously challenge existing approaches and improve how privacy is embedded into day-to-day business.
- Support ad hoc topics and special projects where legal judgment and structured thinking are required.
- Advise on privacy-related topics in adjacent areas, in particular employee data protection, cybersecurity-related data handling, and AI-enabled processing in regulated environments.
- Coordinate with Information Security, Risk, and IT on privacy-relevant security and governance measures, ensuring alignment with recognized best practices (e.g. ISO-based controls where applicable).
- Assess privacy implications of AI-supported products, analytics, and automation, focusing on lawful use, purpose limitation, and accountability rather than theoretical AI governance.
