Porto, Porto, Portugal Web Summit Tempo inteiro

About us:

In the words of Inc. Magazine, "Web Summit is the largest technology conference in the world".

Forbes says Web Summit is "the best tech conference on the planet", Bloomberg calls it "Davos for geeks", Politico "the Olympics of tech", and the Guardian "Glastonbury for geeks".


Whatever Web Summit is, it wouldn't be possible without an incredible team of more than 290 employees, including world-class engineers, data scientists, designers, producers, marketers, salespeople and more.

We've disrupted an old industry by building incredible software and designing mind-blowing events. We've revolutionised how people come together in our world.

We started with one event:
Web Summit. But now we're creating category-defining events all over the world, from Asia to North and South America.

We're just getting started.

About the team

  • You'll review and update data protection policies, privacy statements, processing agreements and more on an ongoing basis.
  • You'll advise on the investigation and notification of data breaches, conducting risk assessments and liaising with the Portuguese Data Protection Authority as necessary.

  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team, and to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
  • The ability to work closely with peers and build strong partnerships with key stakeholders.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills in Portuguese and English.
