Team & role overview

Ready to build further on data privacy - at a company scaling toward global markets?

GoWish is growing fast, and we take our responsibility to users and customers seriously. We're looking for a Data Privacy Specialist to serve as our Data Protection Officer (DPO) and become the driving force behind our global privacy program. You'll be the go-to person for everything data protection: GDPR, CCPA, AI governance, and the security and privacy questions that come with scaling into new markets.

You'll will be part of our Legal, Compliance & HR team, reporting to our Head of Legal, Compliance & HR and collaborate across Product, Engineering, and commercial teams. This role calls for sharp commercial understanding, cross-functional energy, and the ability to turn complexity into clear, actionable compliance.

  • Build out and continuously improve GoWish's global privacy program — policies, procedures, and governance frameworks

  • Serve as DPO and central point of contact for customer security and privacy requests, including DPAs

  • Conduct and document privacy assessments (DPIAs, TIAs, cookie compliance, risk registry) and drive timely remediation

  • Support on data breach response and data subject rights requests (DSARs, deletion, opt-out)

  • Support vendor risk management and onboarding of sub-processors

  • Champion responsible AI governance and embed privacy-by-design across product and engineering workflows

  • Build a strong privacy culture across the organization through training and stakeholder support

What we’re looking for 🌟

We imagine that you have:

  • 2–5 years of hands-on experience in data privacy and compliance, ideally in a consumer-facing company or SaaS environment

  • Relevant academic degree with IAPP certification as a plus

  • Strong command of GDPR and working knowledge of - or genuine appetite to grow into - CCPA and US privacy regulations

  • Experience with or curiosity about AI governance and the privacy implications of emerging technologies

  • Practical experience with DPIAs, risk assessments, data processing agreements, and DSARs

  • Proven ability to work across legal, technical, and commercial teams - and to get things done

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

  • Ability to communicate clearly to all stakeholders

  • A collaborative mindset, attention to detail, and willingness to iterate and improve

Working at
GoWish, Ønskeskyen

GoWish was originally launched in 2015 as a wishlist gimmick by the national Danish-Swedish postal service, PostNord. In 2020, it was spun out by VC Dotcom Capital, and has since the launch of its international app GoWish in 2023 evolved into a global social shopping phenomenon. GoWish is a digital platform for wish lists and inspiration, where users can easily create wishes, as well as collect and share their wish lists and inspiration lists. With a large universe of inspiration, the app is a Social Shopping platform designed to inspire users to discover products, new ideas, and trends – and to add wishes directly in the app or from any online store. Users can create wish lists for birthdays, Christmas, weddings, and any other occasion, and share them with friends and family. In this way, GoWish serves as a social tool that makes it easy to find the perfect gift while avoiding duplicate gifts and unnecessary returns.
