Group Data Privacy Officer - Shape Global Compliance Across 80+ Countries

Job Req Number:  97871 
Time Type: Full Time

Do you want to shape the global direction for data privacy in a company with over 160,000 employees? And are you ready to take ownership of a complex regulatory area - where your legal insight and practical mindset help shape global standards across five regions?

As Group Data Privacy Officer at DSV, you will take the strategic and operational lead on data privacy across our global organisation – turning regulation into scalable, pragmatic solutions. 

"You will be seen, trusted and respected as an authority on privacy in DSV. And you will have the opportunity to define both policies and the systems that support them," says Director, Head of Legal Operations, Christoffer Theilgaard.

A legal team with global reach and daily collaboration
Based in Hedehusene, you will become part of our Group Legal unit and more specifically our Legal Operations team. Group Legal in DSV is a global team with more than 150 colleagues, with around 10 of us located in Hedehusene, and the rest spread out across the many countries DSV operates in. 

We work closely with our local offices around the world, as well as both IT, Compliance and other Group functions – and you will gain a collaborative in-house legal network both in Hedehusene and globally. 

Take ownership of data privacy – from strategy to daily operations
As Group Data Privacy Officer, you will contribute to the strategic direction for data privacy and ensure that DSV meets compliance requirements across its global organisation. 

You will act as both subject matter expert and operational lead, translating legal obligations into pragmatic and practical processes – and in collaboration with our local offices, you will ensure that these are also workable across our global operations.

Among other things, you will:

• Maintain and develop DSV’s global privacy policies, ensuring they are up to date and operationally anchored
• Lead the global network of local privacy contacts and act as their main point of support
• Be the designated expert for internal questions related to data privacy as well as data privacy related documents and topics
• Drive the mapping of systems, data flows and processing activities, including the development of supporting tools and questionnaires (you will have great support for administrative tasks in this regard)
• Lead the global group in taking the next steps in digitising the compliance processes
• Take the lead on privacy-related configurations and reporting in OneTrust, which serves as DSV’s core privacy system
  
  
  

"You will not just apply policies. You will help build them, shape the tools behind them and make privacy part of our global infrastructure across regions, business units and cultures,” Christoffer continues.

Experienced in data privacy and confident in your legal foundation
With your ability to prioritise tasks with a pragmatic approach, you strike the right balance between quality and delivery. Also, you are proactive and ensure progress on your side of the table, while also cooperating and navigating in a global setting across functions, cultures, and geography.

Furthermore, we imagine that you:

• Bring some years of experience with data privacy – perhaps from a similar role
• Have good knowledge of and experience working with the GDPR regulation
• Hold a master’s degree in law, business law or a similar field, or be certified within data privacy. However, your practical experience and ability to apply it in a complex organisation matter more to us than the specific title of your degree
• Have experience with OneTrust or a similar privacy compliance system – or the ability to quickly learn new IT systems
• Communicate clearly and professionally in English, both written and spoken
