Data Protection Officer
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Officer to lead and coordinate data protection activities across the organisation. In this important role, you will provide independent advice on privacy, information governance and regulatory compliance, helping to ensure that personal data is handled lawfully, fairly and transparently. You will act as a key point of contact for colleagues, data subjects, regulators and other relevant stakeholders, promoting a strong culture of privacy and accountability.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring compliance with applicable data protection legislation, internal policies and contractual requirements; advising on data protection impact assessments, legitimate interest assessments and records of processing activities; and supporting the development, review and implementation of privacy policies, procedures and guidance. You will oversee the management of data subject rights requests, personal data breaches and privacy-related enquiries, ensuring that matters are assessed, documented and resolved within required timescales. You will also contribute to privacy reviews of new projects, systems, suppliers and information-sharing arrangements, identifying risks and recommending proportionate controls.
To succeed in this position, you will have substantial experience in a data protection, privacy, compliance or information governance role, together with a strong understanding of relevant data protection laws and regulatory guidance. Professional certification or a recognised qualification in data protection, privacy or a related discipline is desirable. You should be confident interpreting complex requirements, producing clear written advice and communicating effectively with people at all levels. Strong organisational skills, sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. Experience delivering training, conducting audits, maintaining compliance records and working collaboratively with legal, security, technology and operational teams would be advantageous. This role offers the opportunity to influence responsible data use and strengthen privacy practices across a complex and evolving environment.
