Data Protection Manager
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Manager to lead and develop the organisation’s data protection and privacy framework. This role will provide expert advice on the lawful, fair and transparent use of personal data, helping teams understand and meet their responsibilities under applicable data protection legislation. You will act as a trusted point of contact for colleagues, senior leaders, customers and external stakeholders on privacy-related matters.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining policies, procedures, records of processing activities and data retention schedules; advising on data protection impact assessments, legitimate interest assessments and privacy notices; and supporting the management of individual rights requests within required timescales. You will monitor compliance, identify areas of risk and recommend practical improvements. The role will also coordinate responses to personal data breaches, oversee investigations, support regulatory reporting where necessary and maintain accurate records of actions and outcomes. You will contribute to audits, assurance reviews and privacy-related projects, including the assessment of new systems, suppliers and data-sharing arrangements.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a data protection, information governance, privacy or compliance role, with a strong understanding of relevant legislation and regulatory guidance. A recognised privacy or data protection qualification is desirable, as is experience working with information security, procurement, legal or technology teams. You will be confident interpreting complex requirements and communicating them clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong organisational skills, sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. We are looking for someone who can work independently, build effective relationships and promote a positive culture of accountability, confidentiality and responsible data use.
