Data Protection Senior Associate L2 - Risk Management - Manchester
We are seeking a Data Protection Senior Associate to join a risk management team in Manchester. This role will support the organisation in maintaining a robust data protection framework and ensuring that personal information is handled lawfully, securely and transparently. You will provide practical advice on data protection matters, helping colleagues understand their responsibilities and embedding effective privacy practices across business activities.
Your responsibilities will include advising on data protection impact assessments, legitimate interest assessments, data-sharing arrangements, privacy notices, records of processing activities and retention requirements. You will support the review and negotiation of data processing agreements, assess privacy risks associated with new products, systems and suppliers, and provide guidance on international transfers and information security considerations. You will also assist with the management of individual rights requests, personal data breaches, regulatory enquiries and related investigations, ensuring that matters are documented, escalated and resolved appropriately.
The successful candidate will have strong knowledge of UK data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, with an understanding of wider information governance and regulatory expectations. Experience gained in an in-house, consultancy, legal or regulated environment would be valuable, as would a relevant professional qualification such as CIPP/E, CIPM or equivalent. You will be confident interpreting complex requirements, identifying proportionate solutions and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Strong organisational skills, sound judgement and attention to detail are essential, together with the ability to manage competing priorities and work collaboratively. This is an opportunity to contribute to a mature risk management function while helping to strengthen privacy awareness and responsible data use across the organisation.
