DPO / Legal Counsel

For our client, Securitas, we are looking for a DPO / Legal Counsel with a few years of experience. Dutch or French native speaker, with good knowledge of the other language and good command of English.

• handle legal complaints
• support the different Group companies in Belgium and Luxembourg and provide internal training
• follow and draft various types of contracts such as customer and public procurement contracts

You will focus on legal issues, as an Information Security Manager is already in charge of the technical aspects. Initially, a large part of your work will involve GDPR compliance, data mapping, policy review, etc. Once you have mastered this, your scope will go beyond data protection: you will interact with customers and suppliers, negotiate contracts and so on.
