Data Protection Officer
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Officer to lead and coordinate the organisation’s data protection and privacy programme. You will provide independent advice and guidance on the lawful, fair, and transparent use of personal data, helping teams understand and meet their responsibilities under applicable data protection legislation. Acting as a trusted point of contact for employees, customers, regulators, and other stakeholders, you will promote a strong culture of privacy and ensure that data protection considerations are embedded into business processes and decision-making.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring compliance with data protection requirements, maintaining records of processing activities, reviewing privacy notices and data-sharing arrangements, and advising on data protection impact assessments. You will support the management of individual rights requests, personal data breaches, retention schedules, and processor due diligence. You will also develop and deliver training and awareness activities, maintain relevant policies and procedures, monitor regulatory developments, and provide clear reports and recommendations to senior leaders. Where necessary, you will coordinate investigations, corrective actions, and communications with supervisory authorities.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a data protection, privacy, compliance, legal, or information governance role, with a strong working knowledge of applicable privacy laws and regulatory guidance. A recognised professional qualification in data protection or information governance is desirable. You will be confident interpreting complex requirements, assessing risk, and communicating practical advice to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong organisational, analytical, and stakeholder-management skills are essential, along with the ability to work independently, handle sensitive information discreetly, and manage multiple priorities. Experience with information security, data governance, records management, or privacy by design will be advantageous.
