We are seeking a Data Protection Specialist to support the effective management, implementation and continuous improvement of data protection practices across the organisation. The successful candidate will help ensure that personal data is processed lawfully, fairly and transparently, in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, regulatory guidance and internal policies. This role will work closely with colleagues across legal, compliance, information security, technology, human resources and operational teams.

Key responsibilities will include maintaining records of processing activities, supporting privacy impact assessments and advising on data protection risks associated with new projects, systems and business processes. You will review and update privacy notices, data processing agreements, retention schedules and internal policies, as well as assist with supplier and third-party due diligence. The role will also involve monitoring compliance, coordinating responses to data subject requests, supporting the investigation and reporting of personal data breaches, and preparing clear reports and recommendations for relevant stakeholders. You may also contribute to audits, regulatory correspondence, training programmes and awareness initiatives.

Applicants should have practical experience in data protection, privacy, information governance or a related compliance function, together with a sound understanding of applicable privacy laws and principles. Experience with GDPR, data subject rights, records of processing, impact assessments and breach management is highly desirable. You should be analytical, organised and confident in interpreting requirements and translating them into practical guidance. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to build effective relationships with stakeholders at all levels. A relevant professional qualification or certification in data protection, privacy, compliance or information security would be advantageous. The role requires discretion, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities while working independently and collaboratively.
