Senior Data Protection Manager
We are seeking an experienced Senior Data Protection Manager to lead and strengthen data protection and privacy practices across a complex organisation. This is a senior advisory role, responsible for ensuring that personal data is handled lawfully, transparently and securely throughout its lifecycle. You will provide authoritative guidance on the interpretation and application of UK data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, while remaining informed about relevant regulatory developments and emerging privacy risks.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining and improving the data protection framework, policies, standards and procedures; advising senior stakeholders and project teams on privacy requirements; and overseeing data protection impact assessments, legitimate interest assessments, data-sharing arrangements and international transfers. You will manage and investigate personal data breaches, coordinate appropriate reporting and remediation, and support the delivery of training and awareness programmes. The role will also involve monitoring compliance, conducting audits and reviews, maintaining records of processing activities, responding to data subject rights requests, and preparing clear reports and recommendations for governance committees and senior leadership.
You will bring substantial experience in a senior data protection, privacy or information governance position, with a strong working knowledge of UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, electronic marketing rules and related guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office. A relevant professional qualification, such as CIPP/E, CIPM, BCS or equivalent, would be advantageous. You should be confident advising at board and executive level, influencing stakeholders across different functions and translating complex legal and regulatory requirements into practical business solutions. Excellent communication, organisational and analytical skills are essential, together with sound judgement, discretion and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
