Data Protection Advisor
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Advisor to provide practical guidance on privacy, information governance and data protection compliance across a complex organisation. You will help ensure that personal information is collected, used, stored and shared lawfully, fairly and transparently, while supporting teams to understand and meet their responsibilities under applicable data protection legislation and internal policies.
Key responsibilities will include advising on data protection impact assessments, records of processing activities, data sharing arrangements, retention schedules and privacy notices. You will support the review of contracts and supplier arrangements, assess new systems and business initiatives, and provide clear recommendations on privacy risks and appropriate mitigating controls. You will also assist with the management of individual rights requests, personal data breaches, complaints and regulatory enquiries, ensuring that matters are recorded, investigated and resolved within required timescales. Delivering engaging training, awareness sessions and practical guidance to colleagues will be an important part of the role.
Applicants should have demonstrable experience in a data protection, privacy, information governance or compliance position, together with a sound understanding of relevant legislation, regulatory guidance and best practice. A recognised qualification in data protection or information governance is desirable, although equivalent professional experience will be considered. You will be confident interpreting complex requirements, managing competing priorities and communicating effectively with people at all levels. Strong analytical, organisational and report-writing skills are essential, as is the ability to work independently while building productive relationships with legal, security, technology, operational and business teams. This role offers the opportunity to influence responsible information handling, strengthen organisational compliance and promote a positive culture of privacy and accountability.
