Data Protection and Data Governance Consultant
We are seeking a Data Protection and Data Governance Consultant to support the development, implementation and continuous improvement of robust data management practices. In this role, you will advise stakeholders on data protection obligations, governance frameworks and responsible data use, helping to ensure that personal and business-critical information is managed securely, transparently and in accordance with applicable laws, regulations and internal policies.
Your responsibilities will include conducting data protection impact assessments, reviewing data processing activities, maintaining records of processing, and supporting the management of data subject rights and information requests. You will contribute to the creation and maintenance of policies, standards, procedures and guidance relating to data privacy, retention, classification, access control and information security. The role will also involve assessing third-party data processing arrangements, supporting contract reviews, identifying compliance risks and recommending appropriate remedial actions. You will work closely with legal, security, technology, risk and operational teams to embed effective controls and promote a culture of accountability.
The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience in data protection, privacy, information governance or a closely related discipline, with a sound understanding of relevant legislation such as the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, or equivalent international requirements. Experience with data mapping, governance frameworks, audit activity, risk assessment and policy development is highly desirable. Relevant professional qualifications, such as CIPP/E, CIPM, CDPO, or an information governance certification, would be advantageous. You should be an excellent communicator, capable of explaining complex requirements clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong analytical, organisational and stakeholder-management skills are essential, together with a practical, collaborative approach and the ability to manage competing priorities in a changing environment.
