Senior Legal Counsel & Data Protection Officer (f/m/d)

Allianz Digital Health GmbH (ADH) is a Munich, Germany based subsidiary of Allianz SE.

ADH has a dual mission: Developing cloud-based software applications for Health insurance and supporting Allianz units world-wide in optimizing their Health insurance business along the value chain.

You'll translate Group requirements for a non‑insurance, non‑regulated entity, and build strong relationships with your peers across the Group.
