Privacy Consultant, Zoetermeer

Privacy Consultant

Digital Transformation– Zoetermeer

About the role As a Privacy consultant at Highberg, you work on challenging and diverse privacy issues for a wide range of clients. You not only provide advice on the legal aspects of privacy but also ensure that organizations can implement privacy in a practical and workable way, without hindering their ambitions. Sometimes you sit at the table as a strategic advisor to the executive board, while at other times, you take on the role of interim Data Protection Officer or lead a GDPR implementation project. Whatever your role, you always maintain a focus on balancing privacy with the client’s organizational goals.

Why Highberg At Highberg, we turn vision into movement and ambition into reality. We know that real transformation demands more than ideas: it demands people who make them happen.
