Data Protection Manager
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Manager to lead and develop the organisation’s data protection framework, ensuring compliance with applicable privacy laws, regulations, and internal policies. You will act as a trusted adviser to colleagues at all levels, providing practical guidance on the lawful and responsible use of personal information across business activities, systems, and services.
Your responsibilities will include maintaining data protection policies, procedures, records of processing activities, retention schedules, and supporting documentation. You will monitor regulatory developments, assess their potential impact, and translate requirements into clear, workable controls. You will advise on data protection impact assessments, privacy by design, data sharing arrangements, international transfers, direct marketing, and the use of suppliers or third-party processors. You will also oversee the management of individual rights requests, personal data breaches, complaints, and related investigations, ensuring that matters are recorded, assessed, escalated, and resolved within required timescales.
The role will involve planning and delivering training and awareness programmes, promoting a strong culture of privacy and information responsibility. You will work closely with information security, legal, risk, procurement, technology, and operational teams, while preparing management reports and recommendations on compliance risks and improvements. The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a data protection, privacy, or information governance position, with a strong working knowledge of relevant legislation and regulatory guidance. A recognised professional qualification in data protection or privacy is desirable. You should be confident interpreting complex requirements, influencing stakeholders, managing competing priorities, and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences. Excellent attention to detail, sound judgement, discretion, and a proactive approach to problem-solving are essential.
