Data Protection Manager
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Manager to lead and coordinate data protection, privacy, and information governance activities across the organisation. This role will provide practical advice on the lawful and responsible use of personal data, helping teams understand their obligations and embed privacy considerations into day-to-day operations and strategic projects. You will act as a trusted adviser to senior stakeholders, supporting a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining and developing data protection policies, procedures, records of processing activities, data retention schedules, and privacy notices. You will monitor compliance with applicable data protection legislation and regulatory guidance, provide advice on data protection impact assessments, and oversee the management of individual rights requests, data sharing arrangements, supplier due diligence, and international data transfers. The role will also coordinate the investigation and reporting of personal data breaches, ensuring that risks are assessed promptly and appropriate remedial actions are implemented. You will contribute to audits, risk assessments, management reporting, and the development of privacy-related training and awareness programmes.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a data protection, privacy, information governance, or compliance environment, with a strong understanding of relevant legislation and regulatory expectations. A recognised professional qualification or equivalent practical experience is desirable. You will be confident interpreting complex requirements, translating them into clear and proportionate guidance, and influencing colleagues at all levels. Excellent communication, organisational, analytical, and stakeholder management skills are essential, together with the ability to manage competing priorities, maintain accurate records, and handle sensitive information with discretion. Experience of working with information security, records management, procurement, or technology teams would be an advantage.
