This is a unique and exciting opportunity to join the DPC’s team, in the role of Legal Analyst. The Legal Analyst will have a key role in what is one of Europe’s most prominent and active data protection regulators, with opportunities to contribute to the DPC’s extensive work at national level, as well as the high-profile and unique role it holds in the supervision of large international organisations based in Ireland.
