Your role in the team

  • You are the primary contact for data protection questions from our clients and communicate directly with data protection officers of public authorities, even during tenders.
  • You negotiate data processing agreements with clients and develop a standardized contract set that facilitates quick closing in sales.
  • You develop a data protection framework for the DACH region that takes into account the differences between countries, federal states, and cantons, and make recurring answers quickly available through a knowledge database for everyone.
  • You are responsible for the data protection documentation of our products and ensure that new service providers and AI functions are launched in compliance with data protection regulations.
  • You keep an eye on the legal situation in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, prepare authorities' reports with the CISO, and coordinate with our external data protection and legal advisors as needed.
  • You support the CISO in preparing for ISO-27001 audits.
  • You leverage AI and automation to scale assessments and responses, enabling sales and customer support with comprehensible data protection knowledge.

Our expectations of you

Qualifications

  • A solid understanding of information security, ideally from an ISO-27001-certified environment, so that you can speak on equal footing with security colleagues.
  • A problem-solving approach: You find a viable solution for clients and us even under strict requirements.
  • Ownership of a topic that has so far been distributed among several of us, and the habit of proactively keeping stakeholders informed.
  • Fluent in German and English, both spoken and written, as contracts are drafted in German and documents are also prepared in English.

Experience

  • Several years of experience in data protection at a company with its own products, ideally SaaS or EdTech, and very good knowledge of GDPR.
  • Experience in reviewing and negotiating customer contracts, especially data processing agreements, not just advising internally.
  • Experience in dealing with public clients or authorities and a confident handling of children's data.

What we offer

  • You work in a hybrid model, combining flexible remote work with regular presence in one of our offices in Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, Göttingen, or Koblenz.
  • Personal interaction is important to us because good collaboration arises through conversation and not just at the desk.
  • Occasional travel to team and client meetings is part of the job.
