Privacy Legal Counsel

At Nord Security, we’re creating a safer cyber future. We help people and businesses take back control of their online security, privacy, and data. From VPNs to password managers, threat intelligence to eSIMs for travel—our teams turn complex problems into solutions trusted by millions worldwide.

Life is online. In this role, you’ll help people own it.

We are looking for a Privacy Legal Counsel who combines strong legal expertise with commercial judgment, systems thinking, and a genuine and hands-on interest in technology. In this role, you will be a strategic partner to Nord Security Product, Risk, Security, and other business teams, helping them navigate privacy and data protection requirements while creating scalable ways of working that support business growth.

This is more than a traditional advisory role. You will help build practical frameworks, processes, and guidance that enable teams to design, launch, and improve products across multiple markets while managing legal and reputational risk. You will also monitor legal, regulatory, and market developments, and translate them into clear, actionable advice for the business.

• A business-oriented mindset and the ability to give clear, practical advice
• Strong systems thinking and the ability to turn recurring issues into scalable processes and guidance
