Data Protection Specialist (0619)
We are seeking a Data Protection Specialist to support the effective management, implementation and continuous improvement of data protection practices across the organisation. The successful candidate will provide practical advice on privacy and information governance matters, helping teams understand and meet their legal, regulatory and internal obligations. This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented professional who can translate complex requirements into clear, workable guidance.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring compliance with applicable data protection legislation and policies; advising on data processing activities, privacy notices, data-sharing arrangements and retention requirements; supporting data protection impact assessments and legitimate interest assessments; maintaining accurate records of processing activities; and assisting with the review of contracts, procedures and information governance documentation. You will also help coordinate responses to data subject rights requests, investigate and manage personal data breaches, maintain appropriate registers, and contribute to internal audits and compliance reporting. The role will involve working collaboratively with legal, security, technology, HR and operational teams, as well as delivering awareness guidance and training to colleagues.
Applicants should have experience in a data protection, privacy, compliance or information governance environment, together with a sound understanding of relevant data protection principles and regulatory expectations. A recognised qualification in data protection, privacy, law, information governance or a related discipline is desirable. You will need strong analytical and organisational skills, excellent written and verbal communication, and the ability to manage confidential information with discretion. The ideal candidate will be confident assessing risk, prioritising competing demands and providing clear, proportionate advice to a wide range of stakeholders. Experience with data mapping, incident management, policy development, audits or privacy management systems would be advantageous. A proactive approach, sound judgement and commitment to continuous improvement are essential.
