Data Protection Manager
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Manager to lead and coordinate data protection, privacy and information governance activities across the organisation. The successful candidate will provide practical advice on the collection, use, storage and sharing of personal data, helping teams meet applicable data protection legislation and internal policies. This role will act as a trusted point of contact for colleagues, senior stakeholders, customers and external partners on privacy-related matters.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining and improving the data protection framework; monitoring compliance with relevant laws, regulations and guidance; advising on data protection impact assessments, legitimate interest assessments, records of processing activities and data-sharing arrangements; and supporting the management of data subject rights requests. You will also oversee the investigation and reporting of personal data breaches, maintain accurate records, coordinate responses to regulatory enquiries and contribute to the development of policies, procedures and training programmes. The role will involve carrying out audits and risk assessments, identifying areas for improvement and presenting clear recommendations to senior management.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a data protection, privacy, compliance or information governance role, with a strong understanding of UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and related regulatory principles. A relevant professional qualification, such as CIPP/E, CIPM, or an equivalent privacy certification, would be advantageous. You will need excellent analytical, communication and organisational skills, together with the confidence to explain complex requirements in clear, practical language. The ideal candidate will be able to manage competing priorities, work independently and collaboratively, demonstrate sound judgement and maintain a high level of integrity and confidentiality. Experience of developing staff awareness, managing third-party risk and working with information security or records management teams would also be beneficial.
