Data Privacy Specialist

We’re Adevinta, a global leader in digital marketplaces. Our household name brands, including Marktplaats in the Netherlands, mobile.de in Germany and leboncoin in France, reach hundreds of millions of people every month.

We’re all about matchmaking, and our sites help people find whatever they’re looking for in their local communities - whether it’s a car, an apartment, a sofa or a new job. Every connection made or item found makes a difference by creating a world where people share more and waste less.

Our brands are supported by global Tech Hubs in Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris and Berlin. Their goal is to develop common global products and innovation platforms which all of our brands can use. This means using cutting edge technology to create highly scalable, customisable and secure products and components that free up development time and leverage our access to global data.

What you’ll do & Who you are

The Global Privacy team, part of the Legal organization, is spearheading a transformation in the way people's data is used. We aim to achieve an upward shift in maturity over the next few years, and we need smart and solution-orientated people to create a team to drive this.

- Support our training and awareness strategy across the business, running, where appropriate, training sessions and influencing the privacy mindset by acting as a go-to contact point for privacy questions
- Contribute to management reporting on the performance of Product teams, using carefully defined Privacy KPIs through oversight/monitoring and securing the implementation of technical Privacy controls in the Product & Tech environment (e.g. automation of processes required by GDPR)
