Data Protection Officer
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Officer to lead and support the organisation’s data protection and privacy programme. The successful candidate will provide practical, proportionate advice on the lawful and secure use of personal data, helping teams understand and meet their responsibilities under applicable data protection legislation. This role will act as an independent point of contact for privacy matters and will promote a strong culture of accountability, transparency and continuous improvement.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring compliance with data protection requirements, maintaining relevant policies, procedures and records, and advising on data protection impact assessments, privacy notices, data-sharing arrangements and supplier contracts. You will oversee the management and investigation of personal data breaches, support responses to data subject requests, and act as a contact point for individuals, regulators and other external stakeholders. The role will also involve delivering training and awareness activities, conducting audits and reviews, identifying emerging risks, and preparing clear reports and recommendations for senior stakeholders.
You will have proven experience in a data protection, privacy, compliance or information governance role, with a sound understanding of applicable privacy laws, regulatory guidance and good practice. Relevant professional qualifications or membership of a recognised privacy or information governance body would be advantageous. Strong analytical, communication and organisational skills are essential, together with the ability to interpret complex requirements and translate them into practical actions. You should be confident working independently while building effective relationships across varied teams, managing competing priorities and handling sensitive information with discretion. Experience of working with information security, risk management, records management or digital transformation programmes would also be beneficial.
