Data Protection Officer
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Officer to lead and coordinate data protection and privacy activities across the organisation. This role will provide expert advice on applicable data protection legislation, regulatory guidance, and best practice, helping ensure that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, transparently, and securely. You will act as an independent point of contact for employees, customers, suppliers, regulatory authorities, and other relevant stakeholders on privacy-related matters.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring compliance with data protection requirements; maintaining and reviewing privacy policies, procedures, records of processing activities, retention schedules, and data sharing arrangements; and advising on data protection impact assessments, legitimate interest assessments, international transfers, direct marketing, and the use of emerging technologies. You will support the management of data subject rights requests, personal data breaches, complaints, audits, and regulatory enquiries, ensuring that issues are assessed and resolved promptly. You will also develop and deliver appropriate training and awareness programmes, promote a strong culture of privacy, and provide clear reporting on risks, incidents, compliance activity, and improvement plans to senior leadership.
Applicants should have significant experience in a data protection, privacy, compliance, legal, risk, or information governance role, with a strong working knowledge of relevant legislation and regulatory expectations. A recognised professional qualification in data protection or privacy is desirable, as is experience operating as a Data Protection Officer or advising senior stakeholders in a complex environment. You will need excellent analytical, communication, and organisational skills, with the confidence to challenge constructively and influence decision-making at all levels. The successful candidate will be pragmatic, discreet, and commercially aware, able to manage competing priorities while maintaining high standards of accuracy, integrity, and confidentiality.
