We are seeking an experienced Head of Compliance and Data Privacy for a 12-month fixed-term contract. This is a senior role with responsibility for leading the compliance and data privacy agenda across the organisation, ensuring that appropriate frameworks, policies and controls are in place and operating effectively. You will provide pragmatic, commercially focused advice to senior stakeholders and support a strong culture of ethical conduct, accountability and regulatory awareness.
Your responsibilities will include overseeing the compliance and data protection framework, monitoring changes in relevant laws and regulations, and assessing their impact on the business. You will maintain and update policies, procedures, risk assessments, registers and reporting processes, while coordinating assurance activity, internal reviews and remediation plans. The role will also involve advising on privacy matters including data protection impact assessments, data-sharing arrangements, data subject rights, records of processing and the management of potential incidents or breaches. You will act as a trusted point of contact for regulatory queries, audits and compliance-related investigations, ensuring that issues are escalated and resolved appropriately.
To succeed, you will have substantial experience in a senior compliance, risk, data protection or privacy leadership role, ideally within a regulated, complex or fast-paced environment. You should have strong knowledge of applicable data protection legislation and wider compliance principles, together with the ability to interpret regulatory requirements and translate them into practical business actions. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CIPP/E, CIPM, ICA or equivalent, are desirable. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the confidence to influence senior leaders and work collaboratively across departments. You will be organised, analytical and solutions-focused, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver effectively within a fixed-term appointment.
