- interpreting and assessing the impact of new laws, regulations, and industry standards on internal processes and frameworks, and translating them into concrete internal rules and measures
- collaborating closely with legal, compliance, risk, IT governance, and business stakeholders to gather requirements, evaluate legal risks, and develop suitable governance and control mechanisms
- supporting the implementation and rollout of legal frameworks across the organization, including training, guidance, and communication to relevant stakeholders
- identifying opportunities to improve legal and governance processes (e.g. simplifying procedures, harmonizing guidelines, closing gaps in controls) and implementing enhancements
- contributing to legal and compliance risk assessments and audits, including preparation of documentation and responses for internal and external auditors or regulators
Skills and experience you will need
- fluency in English
- several years of experience in a legal, compliance, regulatory, or governance function (e.g. n-house Legal, Compliance Officer, regulatory affairs, IT governance with legal focus)

- strong knowledge of relevant regulatory landscapes (e.g. IT governance regulations, data protection, information security, outsourcing/third-party risk, sector-specific regulation) – or a strong willingness to build this expertise
- strong analytical and structured thinking, with the ability to translate complex legal and regulatory topics into clear policies, procedures, and practical guidance
- experience in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating contracts, policies, and other legal documents

- high level of ownership and reliability, with the ability to drive legal and regulatory topics independently and meet deadlines
