Reference: 7imkdgjboayh2857mivi

We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Officer to lead and strengthen the organisation’s data protection and privacy framework. In this role, you will provide independent advice on compliance with applicable data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, and other relevant regulatory requirements. You will act as a trusted point of contact for colleagues, customers, suppliers, regulators, and other stakeholders on privacy matters, promoting a culture of responsible information handling across the organisation.

Your responsibilities will include monitoring compliance with data protection policies and procedures, advising on data processing activities, and maintaining accurate records of processing. You will oversee data protection impact assessments, legitimate interest assessments, data sharing arrangements, retention schedules, and responses to individual rights requests. You will also support the management of personal data breaches, coordinating investigations, reporting where necessary, and recommending appropriate remedial action. The role will involve reviewing contracts, procurement activity, new systems, and business initiatives to identify and address privacy risks at an early stage.

The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a data protection, privacy, compliance, legal, or information governance role, with a strong understanding of relevant legislation and regulatory guidance. A recognised data protection qualification, such as CIPP/E, CIPM, or an equivalent professional accreditation, is desirable. You will be confident interpreting complex requirements and translating them into practical advice for both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong communication, influencing, organisational, and analytical skills are essential, along with sound judgement, discretion, and the ability to manage competing priorities. Experience delivering training, preparing management reports, and working with information security or governance teams would be an advantage.
