Who are we?

Volvo Cars is on an exciting journey, redefining the automotive experience by providing people the freedom to move in a personal, sustainable, and safe way. We are working to improve the customer experience in automotive through digital technology and by rapidly taking steps towards full electrification, autonomous drive, and shared mobility capabilities. Our high aspirations increasingly require the processing of personal data, which in turn necessitates solid and proactive data protection guidance. 

For this reason, we are now expanding and looking for another legal counsel to our Global Data Protection Office (“GDPO”) consisting of an enthusiastic team of more than 20 privacy professionals. This position will strengthen GDPO Commercial Operations, which is the key function responsible for supporting the sales and marketing of Volvo Cars’ products and services. 

What you’ll do

As one of our data protection lawyers you will function as a subject matter expert and an important contributor in our efforts to ensure adherence to applicable legislation and our own high ethical standards for the handling of personal data, while enabling data-driven customer interactions, operations and development of products and services.

You will work in a truly innovative, fast-changing, and international environment. As a valued partner to the business, you will have the opportunity to work alongside key stakeholders, influencing the strategic direction of many new business initiatives and contributing to Volvo Cars’ transformation. 

Your main responsibilities will be to act as a trusted legal advisor for data protection matters and contribute to the continuous improvement of our privacy program, including to develop strategic approaches to data protection compliance. You will conduct privacy impact/risk assessments on business initiatives of varying nature and complexity and help embed Privacy by Design principles where needed. You will work with various internal stakeholders as well as partnerships. Another area of responsibility will be to draft and negotiate data processing agreements. 

You will be based in Volvo Cars’ headquarters in Gothenburg.

What you’ll bring

You are an engaged and forward-thinking data protection lawyer with grades in the upper tier. You have worked more than five years as a lawyer at a law firm or as an in-house legal counsel in Europe, with extensive experience of handling the General Data Protection Regulation. Ideally, you have relevant professional qualifications such as ECPC-B DPO or CIPP.

Furthermore, you are a collaborator with first class communication and interpersonal skills. As such, you can present complex facts and information in a simple way and with an approach tailored to different audiences.

You are also able to translate data protection policies into actions that deliver business value and drive change. Defining and solving complex problems that require careful analysis and good judgement is something you excel at and thrive on.

You are eager to learn new things and can maintain a diverse workload. You enjoy working in fast-paced changing environments and with motivated and kind people with various backgrounds and skills.

Finally, you share our values and can see everyone's potential. Your personality and eagerness to collaborate will be welcomed by all of us!
