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. This role will provide expert guidance on privacy requirements, help promote a strong culture of compliance, and ensure that personal information is handled lawfully, fairly and transparently throughout its lifecycle. The successful candidate will work closely with colleagues across the business, providing practical advice on data protection obligations and supporting the delivery of privacy-focused initiatives.
Key responsibilities will include advising on data protection legislation, internal policies and relevant regulatory guidance; reviewing and documenting privacy impact assessments; supporting records of processing activities; and contributing to the development and maintenance of data protection policies, procedures and guidance. You will assist with the assessment and management of data breaches, information rights requests and data-sharing arrangements, escalating matters where appropriate. The role will also involve reviewing contracts and supplier arrangements for suitable privacy provisions, monitoring compliance activity, supporting audits, and maintaining accurate records and management information.
Applicants should have demonstrable experience in data protection, privacy, information governance or a closely related discipline, together with a sound understanding of applicable data protection legislation and regulatory expectations. Professional qualifications or recognised training in data protection, information governance, law, risk or compliance would be advantageous. You will need excellent analytical, organisational and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex requirements clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. A proactive, pragmatic and collaborative approach is essential, along with discretion when handling sensitive information, strong attention to detail, and the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver high-quality work to deadlines.
