Senior Data Protection Manager
We are seeking an experienced Senior Data Protection Manager to lead and develop data protection, privacy and information governance practices across a complex organisation. This is a senior advisory role, responsible for ensuring that personal data is handled lawfully, securely and transparently, while supporting effective business operations and the responsible use of data. You will provide authoritative guidance to senior stakeholders, advise on privacy risks and promote a strong culture of compliance across all functions.
Key responsibilities will include overseeing compliance with the UK GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018, Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and other relevant legislation; maintaining and enhancing policies, procedures and internal standards; and advising on data protection impact assessments, legitimate interest assessments, data sharing arrangements, international transfers and privacy by design. You will manage the response to individual rights requests, personal data breaches and regulatory enquiries, ensuring that matters are assessed, documented and resolved within appropriate timescales. You will also maintain records of processing activities, support information asset governance and provide clear reporting on risks, incidents and compliance performance.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience in a senior data protection, privacy or information governance position, ideally within a large or regulated environment. You will have strong knowledge of UK and European data protection law, excellent analytical and risk management skills, and the confidence to interpret complex requirements and translate them into practical advice. Experience of leading programmes, managing stakeholders and influencing at senior level is essential, along with the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences. A relevant professional qualification, such as CIPP/E, CIPM, or membership of an appropriate data protection body, would be advantageous. You will be pragmatic, organised and committed to maintaining high standards of confidentiality, integrity and professional judgement.
