Internship - Legal & Compliance

Are you dreaming of working with legal and compliance tasks at an international level, and eager to gain hands-on experience within your field of study? If so, we have the ideal internship opportunity for you.

Expected start: Spring 2026

Your role as a Legal & Compliance Intern
As our new intern, you will gain practical experience with legal and compliance tasks in a global business environment. You will work with topics such as GDPR, data protection, and cybersecurity compliance. From the outset, you will be entrusted with responsibility and will quickly see the impact of your contributions.

Your daily tasks will include:

Reviewing and preparing comments on data processing agreements
Maintaining records of processing activities and other data protection documentation
Supporting GDPR compliance activities, including managing sub-processor chains, drafting legal notices, and coordinating annual compliance tasks
Assisting with data processor audits, training materials, and regulatory updates
Providing ad hoc support related to cybersecurity and legal matters
Undertaking various other tasks within Legal & Compliance

Our Legal & Compliance Team
You will join a dedicated team of 15 colleagues who ensure that Systematic assumes appropriate contractual and commercial risks while remaining compliant with international regulations.

The team collaborates across the entire organisation, providing you with insights into diverse business areas and helping you build a broad understanding of how compliance influences a global company. This role offers varied challenges and opportunities to work alongside experienced colleagues.

Life asan intern

At Systematic, interns are considered an integral part of the team. You will be assigned a dedicated tutor or mentor who will guide you through your tasks and provide ongoing support to foster your professional development. You will collaborate closely with colleagues who are eager to share their expertise, while being entrusted with responsibility early in your internship. This balance allows you the freedom to learn, explore new approaches, and build confidence in your abilities.

We are committed to delivering high-quality solutions, but we also prioritise a positive work environment – whether through shared laughter, a strong cup of coffee, or meaningful connections with colleagues. In addition to your team, you will join our intern network, where you can build relationships, share experiences, and participate in social events with other interns across the organisation.

Who we are looking for

We envisage that you are currently studying law or a similar programme at MSc level, with a strong interest in regulatory compliance, GDPR, and cybersecurity. Equally important is your motivation to learn and your readiness to contribute.

You are likely to thrive in this role if you:

Enjoy variety and can manage changing tasks and deadlines
Possess strong interpersonal skills and a service-oriented mindset, as you will be in contact with colleagues across the organisation
Are fluent in Danish and comfortable using English, both spoken and written (our corporate language is English)
Have knowledge of GDPR – and if you are also familiar with NIS2 or the AI Act, that would be an advantage.

The internship is a full-time position lasting five months, commencing on 2 February 2026. However, we are flexible when it comes to working hours and will match your ECTS requirements. The position is unpaid; but, if permitted by your academic programme, you will receive a monthly token of appreciation during your internship.

Please note that you must be able to present a clean criminal record and have lived in a NATO and/or an EU country for the past seven years as we work with security-classified projects. Read more here.
