Shape the Regulatory Landscape of Digital Connectivity in Europe

 

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Regulatory Counsel to join our Spanish Hub legal team, supporting telecommunications and IT regulatory compliance across Italy, the EU Nordics, and additional European jurisdictions. This is a pivotal role within our international regulatory function, offering exposure to high-impact legal advisory work across multiple markets in a dynamic, innovation-driven sector.

 

 

Key Responsibilities

 

As part of our pan-European Regulatory team, you will:

  • Serve as a trusted legal advisor on telecom and IT regulatory frameworks, focusing primarily on Italy and the Nordics, while supporting other regions as needed.
  • Advise on a broad range of topics including:
    – Licensing and authorisation regimes
    – Numbering and call routing regulations
    – Telco reporting and notification obligations
    – Interconnection and access rules
    – Price regulation and billing obligations
    – Law enforcement engagement (e.g. legal intercept, data retention, customer verification)
    – Cybersecurity, telco secrecy, and cloud regulation
  • Conduct regulatory horizon scanning: monitoring and evaluating upcoming legal enactments and legislative initiatives.
  • Support the business with regulatory risk assessment, compliance analysis, and documentation.
  • Ensure ongoing alignment with regulatory obligations in relation to product launches, customer solutions, and standard terms.
  • Collaborate with legal peers and stakeholders across Europe on complex multi-jurisdictional matters.
  • Contribute to digital transformation initiatives within Legal, including legal tech tools and electronic reporting standards.

 

 

Candidate Profile

 

We are looking for a candidate who brings a combination of regulatory expertise, strategic thinking, and operational pragmatism.

 

Essential:

 

  • Fully qualified lawyer or regulatory expert with a strong track record in telecoms/IT law, ideally focused on Italy and/or Nordic countries.
  • 2–3 years of relevant experience in a multinational company, regulatory authority, or international law firm.
  • Fluency in English (professional working proficiency); basic Italian is an advantage.
  • Demonstrated ability to assess legal risk and communicate complex issues clearly to stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with European telecom frameworks and a proactive approach to legal change management.
  • Comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced, international environment.

 

Desired:

 

  • Experience with legal tech or digital legal operations tools.
  • High level of commercial acumen and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Strong organisational skills and ability to manage diverse regulatory deliverables.

 

 

What We Offer

  • A high-impact role in a forward-thinking, pan-European regulatory function.
  • Collaboration with experienced legal professionals across Europe.
  • Opportunities for continuous learning and cross-border professional development.
