Regulatory Counsel - Exclusive New

Job Description

EMEA Recruitment has exclusively partnered with a leading international technology organization in the search for a Regulatory Counsel, based in Amsterdam.

This is a newly created position within the Global Ethics & Compliance team, presenting a rare opportunity to influence regulatory strategy within a high-growth, innovation-led business.

Operating at the forefront of AI infrastructure, the business is expanding rapidly across global markets, and this role will be instrumental in ensuring alignment with evolving international regulations.

Responsibilities of the Regulatory Counsel:

• Monitor and interpret global regulatory developments (EU, US, APAC) and assess their impact on the business

• Translate legal and regulatory requirements into clear, actionable business guidance

• Advise on export controls, sanctions, anti-bribery and corruption, CSRD, and technology-specific regulations

• Engage cross-functional teams (Security, Product, Sales) to implement compliance guardrails

• Support the development of internal policies and playbooks related to regulatory risks

• Act as a trusted business partner in navigating legal ambiguity across multiple jurisdictions

• Contribute to internal investigations and regulatory preparedness when required

This is a highly visible and autonomous position, suited to a proactive individual with strong stakeholder management capabilities and a commercial mindset.

Candidate Profile:

• 10+ years’ experience in a regulatory or legal advisory role, ideally gained in-house or advising listed companies

• Strong understanding of Dutch legal frameworks and EU regulatory environments (minimum 5 years in the Netherlands)

• Proven track record in regulatory monitoring, not just compliance delivery

• Comfortable operating in a scale-up setting, with the ability to influence across a matrixed business

• Fluent English is essential; additional European languages are an advantage

• Experience with export controls and technology-related legal risk is highly desirable

This is a hybrid position based in Amsterdam (3 days in-office). A competitive salary and bonus package is on offer, alongside long-term development opportunities in a high-growth business.
