Data Protection and Compliance Manager
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection and Compliance Manager to lead the development, implementation and continuous improvement of data protection, privacy and compliance arrangements across the organisation. This is a key role responsible for ensuring that personal data is handled lawfully, securely and transparently, while supporting colleagues to understand and meet their regulatory and governance obligations.
You will provide practical advice on data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, and oversee the maintenance of policies, procedures, records of processing activities, data retention schedules and privacy notices. Responsibilities will include managing data protection impact assessments, responding to data subject rights requests, supporting the investigation and reporting of personal data breaches, and coordinating responses to information requests. You will also monitor compliance risks, maintain appropriate registers and controls, prepare reports for senior stakeholders, and contribute to audits and assurance activity. Working with internal teams and external partners, you will review contracts and data-sharing arrangements, advise on lawful bases and international transfers, and ensure suitable safeguards are in place.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a data protection, privacy, information governance or compliance role, together with a strong understanding of relevant legislation, regulatory guidance and good practice. A recognised data protection or compliance qualification is desirable, as is experience of delivering training, influencing stakeholders and embedding a positive compliance culture. You will be analytical, organised and confident interpreting complex requirements and translating them into clear, proportionate actions. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, along with sound judgement, discretion and the ability to manage competing priorities. This role offers the opportunity to make a visible contribution to effective governance, responsible data use and continuous organisational improvement.
