Interim Data Protection Officer
We are seeking an experienced Interim Data Protection Officer to provide expert leadership and practical guidance on data protection and privacy matters during a period of transition. The successful candidate will act as the primary point of contact for data protection advice, supporting senior stakeholders, operational teams and colleagues across the organisation to ensure that personal information is handled lawfully, fairly and transparently.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring compliance with applicable data protection legislation and regulatory guidance; maintaining and improving policies, procedures, records of processing activities and data retention arrangements; advising on data protection impact assessments, legitimate interest assessments and privacy notices; and reviewing contracts, supplier arrangements and information-sharing agreements. You will oversee the management of data subject rights requests, personal data breaches and regulatory enquiries, ensuring that matters are assessed, documented and addressed within appropriate timescales. The role will also involve providing clear, proportionate advice on emerging risks, technology projects and changes to business processes.
You will deliver engaging training and awareness activity, helping to build a strong culture of privacy and accountability throughout the organisation. You should have substantial experience working as a Data Protection Officer, Privacy Manager or in a comparable senior advisory role, with detailed knowledge of the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and relevant regulatory expectations. Strong experience of handling complex data protection issues, conducting risk assessments and working with senior stakeholders is essential. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, sound judgement and the ability to work independently are required, along with a practical, solutions-focused approach. Experience of operating in an interim, consultancy or change environment would be advantageous. The assignment requires someone who can quickly understand priorities, establish effective working relationships and deliver improvements from the outset.
