Data Protection Officer
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Officer to lead and coordinate data protection, privacy, and information governance activities across the organisation. You will provide independent advice on compliance with applicable data protection laws and regulations, monitor adherence to internal policies, and promote a strong culture of privacy and responsible information handling. Working with colleagues at all levels, you will help ensure that personal data is collected, used, stored, shared, and deleted lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
Your responsibilities will include maintaining and reviewing data protection policies, procedures, records of processing activities, data retention schedules, and privacy notices. You will advise on data protection impact assessments, legitimate interest assessments, international data transfers, contractual arrangements, and the privacy implications of new systems, projects, and services. You will also oversee the management of individual rights requests, support the investigation and reporting of personal data breaches, and coordinate responses to regulatory enquiries. Regular monitoring, internal audits, risk assessments, and clear reporting to senior stakeholders will be central to the role.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a data protection, privacy, compliance, or information governance position, together with a strong working knowledge of relevant legislation and regulatory guidance. A recognised professional qualification in data protection, privacy, law, information governance, or a related discipline is desirable. You should be confident interpreting complex requirements, producing practical guidance, and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong organisational skills, sound judgement, discretion, and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. Experience developing training and awareness programmes, influencing stakeholders, and working with information security, legal, procurement, and technology teams would be highly advantageous.
