We’ve teamed up with a powerhouse in the professional services world to find a legal eagle who lives and breathes data privacy. If you’re the type of person who lives for complex data flows and finds "privacy-by-design" genuinely exciting, you're exactly who we're looking for! The Essentials Location & Work Model: Barcelona - Hybrid: 2-3 days from home, the rest with the team! The Project: Legal Privacy Leadership The Project: What’s the mission? Imagine a massive, multinational machine that operates across Europe, Switzerland, and Turkey. This company is a leader in connecting people with opportunities, and they handle a lot of sensitive info. They are currently refreshing their Global Legal team and need a Data Protection Manager to act as the bridge between "legal theory" and "business reality." This isn't a "keep the seat warm" role-it’s a newly created position designed to restructure the team, mentor junior talent, and ensure that privacy isn't just a checkbox, but a core part of the company culture. You’ll be the go-to expert for high-stakes projects in IT, HR, and Marketing. The Role & Its Responsibilities Your mission, should you choose to accept it (and we hope you do): Lead the Squad: You’ll manage and mentor 2-3 bright minds within the Data Protection team, ensuring day-to-day operations run like a Swiss watch. Risk Architect: Conduct DPIAs, TIAs, and LIAs for new tools and systems. You’ll evaluate risks before they even happen. Strategic Advisor: Translate complex GDPR requirements into "human-speak" for senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams. Vendor Gatekeeper: Review third-party providers to make sure their data practices are as tight as yours. Policy Designer: Update and optimize privacy frameworks, using automation whenever possible to make everyone’s life easier. What You Should Bring The Must-Haves (Non-negotiable, sorry!): Experience: 5-6+ years of solid experience specialized in Data Protection (we’re looking for a specialist, not a generalist). Management: 2-3 years of recent experience leading a team (even a small one!). Geography/Legal: You must be based in Spain and have a deep background in European Law (GDPR). Languages: Fluency in English is a must. It’s the language of the office! Vibe: Resilience, extreme attention to detail, and a "team-first" leadership style. The Nice-to-Haves: Additional languages like Spanish, German, French, Italian, or Polish. Professional certifications like CIPP/E, CIPM, or CIPT. What’s In It For You? The Challenge: You’re not just maintaining a system; you’re helping to restructure and refresh a team in a massive multinational environment. The Growth: Forget stagnating-you’ll have a personalized career development plan and exposure to high-level General Counsel. The Vibes: The office is in beautiful Barcelona, the culture is professional yet collaborative, and the team actually coordinates their office days so you’re never "lonely at the office." The Reward: A package that includes a base salary and performance-related bonuses, plus the chance to work on truly international projects. About the Company Our client is a global leader in the professional recruitment and consultancy space, known for their high standards and massive footprint. They operate as a sophisticated Shared Service Center (SSC) in Barcelona, supporting businesses across the entire EMEA region.
