You will act as a trusted specialist, helping teams interpret and apply relevant legislation, regulatory guidance, and internal policies. The role will involve advising on the lawful and transparent use of personal data, privacy risks, data-sharing arrangements, international transfers, retention, and the design of new products, services, and processes.

You will lead and support Data Protection Impact Assessments, review privacy notices and contractual provisions, and provide practical guidance on data protection by design and default. You will monitor compliance with policies and legal requirements, identify areas for improvement, and contribute to risk assessments, audits, assurance activity, and management reporting. The postholder will also support the management of personal data breaches, including assessment, investigation, mitigation, documentation, and regulatory notification where required.
