Legal Counsel – Privacy & Compliance

Your mission

We are looking for a Legal Counsel – Privacy & Compliance to establish and develop Aonic’s group-wide privacy and compliance function. This is a newly created position with a broad international scope, covering multiple business areas and jurisdictions. You will design scalable frameworks and processes that enable Aonic’s rapid growth while maintaining legal and ethical integrity. You will work closely with the Group General Counsel, Group CEO and leadership teams across Aonic’s portfolio.

This is an opportunity to shape and grow a function that sits at the intersection of law, technology, and governance ideal for a lawyer who thrives on autonomy, impact and building structure where it does not yet exist.

Key responsibilities:

• Build and lead Aonic’s central privacy and compliance framework across all portfolio companies.
• Develop scalable operations, policies, and tools that can support Aonic’s continued international expansion.
• Provide pragmatic legal advice to operational, product, and commercial teams on privacy, InfoSec, data, and regulatory matters.
• Conduct risk assessments, DPIAs, and implement effective compliance controls and documentation.
• Develop and maintain internal policies, playbooks, and training programs to strengthen compliance culture.
• Collaborate with, and train, leaders to embed compliance into processes and decision-making.

• Monitor regulatory developments (e.g. EU AI Act, Digital Services Act) and drive implementation across the group.

  Your profile

• LL.M. (or equivalent) and qualified to practice law in Sweden or another EU jurisdiction.
• At least 5 years of relevant experience from a top-tier law firm and/or as an in-house counsel experience from data driven B2C industries or international tech companies is highly valued.
• Proven expertise in GDPR and cross-border data privacy compliance; knowledge of U.S. privacy frameworks (e.g. CCPA/CPRA) is a strong plus.
• Experience managing compliance programs or acting as Data Protection Officer is an advantage.
• Strong business judgment and ability to make sound decisions independently.
• Fluent in English; Swedish, German or other European languages are a benefit.
• Pragmatic, organised, and motivated by building scalable structures in a fast-moving environment.

Why us?

What we offer:

• A global role with visibility and impact across all Aonic companies.
• The chance to shape a new function and define how compliance and privacy are managed across the group.
• A dynamic, entrepreneurial culture with experienced leaders.
• Exposure to a rapidly growing international tech group, offering broad scope for professional development and cross-border collaboration.
