Global Data Protection Officer - ensure trusted data practices

Are you ready to protect some of the most sensitive data in healthcare on a global scale?

Join Coloplast and step into a purpose-driven role where you help improve lives for people with intimate healthcare needs.

Here, you will lead a global privacy programme, shape responsible use of AI, and collaborate across borders – from the US to China.

Purpose-driven innovation with global impact
At our headquarters in Humlebæk, you will join our global Business Ethics & Compliance function, working closely with data privacy colleagues across regions. You will especially work closely together with our dedicated Data Privacy Managers in the US and China to ensure global alignment.

Working with us, you will experience how we all listen intently to each other. It inspires us to collaborate to challenge the status quo. And it inspires us to combine our individual talents, to create solutions together.  

Lead our global privacy programme
As our new Global Data Protection Officer, you will take full responsibility for Coloplast’s global privacy programme and drive its next phase of maturity. 

This includes embedding privacy-by-design across AI and digital innovation, strengthening marketing technology governance, safeguarding clinical and health data, and maturing the OneTrust privacy management platform as the backbone of our global setup. You will work across regions to ensure alignment, governance, and operational excellence.

You will for example:

•    Lead and evolve our global privacy programme
•    Collaborate with Legal Privacy and regional teams for consistent execution
•    Define and track global KPIs and KRIs
•    Drive global training and capability building
•    Support incident and breach management together with Information Security and Legal

A role built on trust, responsibility, and purpose
At Coloplast, people place their trust in us by sharing some of their most sensitive personal information. They do so because they rely on us to make everyday life easier when living with intimate healthcare needs. 

We honour that trust by treating it with the utmost care and responsibility. As our Data Protection Officer, you will act as a steward of this trust, ensuring that respect for personal data is embedded in every process, product, and interaction across the organisation.

You will be part of a company where protecting users’ privacy is not simply a matter of compliance, but a natural extension of our purpose. It shapes how we design our solutions, how we innovate, and how we support the people who depend on us every day.

Experienced privacy professional with global outlook
You know how to navigate complex regulatory landscapes and act with integrity and responsibility in everything you do. A structured and analytical approach allows you to prioritise effectively, while collaborating across the organisation to ensure that privacy is embedded in both strategy and day-to-day operations.

Additionally, we imagine that you:

•    Have a solid understanding of global privacy laws, including GDPR, PIPL, PIPA, and US state laws
•    Are able to guide cross-functional teams in privacy-by-design
•    Demonstrate strong analytical and prioritisation skills
•    Bring a hands-on mindset and are comfortable working both strategically and operationally
•    Have the ability to work across global time zones
•    Are able to collaborate and influence across the organisation
