Data Protection Manager
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Manager to lead and coordinate data protection activities across the organisation. This role will provide expert advice on privacy legislation, regulatory requirements and best practice, helping to ensure that personal data is collected, used, stored and shared lawfully, securely and transparently. You will act as a trusted adviser to senior stakeholders, managers and employees, promoting a strong culture of privacy and accountability.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining and reviewing data protection policies, procedures, records of processing activities and data retention schedules. You will monitor compliance with applicable data protection laws, support privacy impact assessments, advise on data sharing arrangements and contribute to the development of privacy-by-design practices. The role will also involve managing data subject rights requests, coordinating responses to personal data breaches, maintaining accurate documentation and preparing reports for senior management or relevant governance committees. You will help oversee third-party and supplier compliance, including appropriate contractual clauses and due diligence.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in data protection, privacy, information governance or a related discipline, together with a detailed understanding of applicable privacy legislation and regulatory guidance. A recognised data protection or privacy qualification is desirable, as is experience working with risk management, audits, information security and technology teams. You will be confident interpreting complex requirements, communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences, and influencing stakeholders at all levels. Strong organisational skills, sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. Experience handling sensitive information and investigating incidents would be advantageous.
