Job Search

We are seeking a Privacy Engineer to help design, implement and maintain technical solutions that protect personal data across products, platforms and internal systems. This role will work closely with software engineering, security, legal, compliance, data and product teams to embed privacy into the full technology lifecycle.

You will translate privacy principles and regulatory requirements into practical engineering controls, supporting privacy by design and by default. Responsibilities will include assessing data flows, identifying privacy risks, contributing to data protection impact assessments, and recommending effective mitigations. You will also help develop solutions for data minimisation, retention and deletion, consent management, access controls, anonymisation, pseudonymisation and individual data rights.

The successful candidate will support the creation of technical standards, design patterns and reusable tooling that enable teams to handle personal information responsibly. You will review system and application designs, contribute to threat modelling and security assessments, and help monitor compliance through testing, audits, documentation and appropriate metrics. The role may also involve investigating privacy incidents, supporting remediation activities and promoting practical privacy awareness across engineering teams.

You should have experience in a privacy engineering, security engineering, software engineering, data governance or closely related role. A strong understanding of data protection concepts and relevant legislation, such as the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, is required. You should be comfortable working with databases, APIs, cloud services, identity and access management, logging and data processing workflows.

We are looking for someone who can communicate complex technical and regulatory matters clearly to both specialist and non-specialist audiences. You will need sound analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail and the ability to influence without relying on direct authority. Experience with privacy-enhancing technologies, automated compliance controls, data discovery tools or secure software development practices would be advantageous.

This is an opportunity to make a measurable contribution to responsible technology, helping teams deliver innovative services while maintaining trust and protecting people’s information.

We are seeking an experienced Privacy Advisor to provide practical, high-quality guidance on data protection, privacy and information governance matters. This is an opportunity to join a collaborative team and support the responsible use of personal information across a varied range of services, projects and business activities.

You will advise colleagues and stakeholders on the application of relevant privacy legislation, regulatory guidance and internal policies. Your responsibilities will include providing advice on data protection impact assessments, records of processing activities, privacy notices, information-sharing arrangements, data retention and the management of individual rights requests. You will also help assess and manage privacy risks, ensuring that appropriate controls are identified, documented and implemented.

The role will involve reviewing and supporting contracts, supplier arrangements and other agreements that involve the processing or sharing of personal data. You will contribute to privacy reviews for new products, systems and processes, helping teams adopt privacy by design and data minimisation principles. You may also assist with the investigation and reporting of personal data breaches, including coordinating actions, maintaining accurate records and identifying lessons for improvement.

We are looking for someone with solid knowledge of UK data protection requirements, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, together with an understanding of information security and wider information governance principles. Relevant professional experience in a privacy, compliance, legal or information governance environment is essential. A recognised privacy or data protection qualification, such as CIPP/E, CIPM or an equivalent, would be advantageous.

You will be confident interpreting complex requirements and explaining them clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong written and verbal communication skills, sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to prioritise competing demands are important. You should be comfortable working independently while building effective relationships across different teams and levels of seniority.

This role offers the chance to make a meaningful contribution to good privacy practice, supporting a culture in which personal information is handled lawfully, transparently and respectfully.
