More about the role

This is an exciting opportunity for you to light the way as a Legal Intern - Technology, Cybersecurity & Governance at our office in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

As part of our legal team, you will gain hands-on experience at the intersection of law, technology, cybersecurity, and international corporate governance. Because Signify operates in connected lighting, the Internet of Things, and a global business environment, you will see how fast-developing legal requirements are translated into practical governance arrangements, processes, and tools.

Working with colleagues from Legal, Corporate Security, Procurement, and the businesses, you will:

• • Research and map relevant cybersecurity laws and regulations, supporting the assessment of how they may affect Signify’s global operations, products, services, and legal entities.
  • Support applicable cybersecurity registration and notification procedures.
  • Assist with corporate-governance and legal-entity formalities across a multinational group, including collecting documentation, preparing draft approvals, maintaining records and trackers, and supporting filing and registration processes.
  • Use legal-design methods and legal-tech or AI tools to turn complex information into accessible maps, checklists, decision trees, workflows, dashboards, and internal guidance.

The internship is designed for one day per week, with the possibility of increasing this to two days per week by mutual agreement.

More about you

While we value all applicants, we believe that the following experience and qualities will contribute to your success in this internship:

• • You are currently enrolled in a master’s programme in Law, Law and Technology, European Law, Business Law, Cybersecurity Governance, or another closely related field.
  • You are based in the Netherlands and able to work from our Eindhoven office for at least one day per week.
  • You have a genuine interest in cybersecurity regulation, legal technology, legal design, or the governance of multinational companies; prior specialist experience is welcome but not required.
  • You can research complex subjects carefully and translate your findings into accurate, practical, and visually accessible materials.
  • You communicate confidently in English and bring curiosity, initiative, attention to detail, discretion, and a collaborative mindset.

What you’ll get in return…

• Continuous mentoring and feedback throughout your internship.
• Internship allowance; the exact amount depends on your situation (also towards rented accommodation or public transportation).
• Paid leave on the basis of 1 day per month.
• Extensive set of tools to drive your career, such as a personalized learning platform.
• Opportunity to purchase products in the staff shop at reduced prices.
• We’re offering multiple opportunities for career development, like mentoring, coaching and stretch assignments, with strong international exposure for dynamic profiles. Learning is fundamental to our culture. Through continuous learning, we are transforming the industry. You have the chance to learn every day, acquire new skills and perspectives through customized online programs, and on-the-job experiences.
• As an intern, you will be part of the intern program in the Netherlands, consisting of several events, trainings and networking opportunities with your peer students. Join us and shine brighter together!

The internship needs to be a compulsory part of your studies (receive ECTS in turn). In case of non-compulsory internship, you need to have a letter from the university in which it states that your internship contributes to your personal development, what your learning goals are, and what tasks you will undertake during your internship.
