Data Protection Officer
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Officer to lead and coordinate data protection and privacy activities across the organisation. The successful candidate will provide independent advice on compliance with applicable data protection legislation, regulatory guidance, and internal policies. You will act as a key point of contact for employees, senior stakeholders, customers, regulators, and other relevant parties on privacy matters, promoting a strong culture of responsible data handling.
Your responsibilities will include monitoring compliance with data protection requirements; maintaining and reviewing policies, procedures, records of processing activities, and retention schedules; advising on data protection impact assessments and privacy by design; and supporting the management of data subject rights requests, personal data breaches, and related investigations. You will assess the privacy implications of new products, systems, suppliers, and business processes, ensuring appropriate controls and contractual arrangements are in place. You will also oversee privacy risk assessments, contribute to audits, track remediation actions, and prepare clear reports and recommendations for senior management.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a data protection, privacy, compliance, legal, or information governance role, together with a strong understanding of relevant data protection laws and regulatory expectations. A recognised privacy or data protection qualification is desirable. You will be confident interpreting complex requirements, balancing risk with operational needs, and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences. Excellent organisational skills, sound judgement, discretion, and the ability to manage multiple priorities are essential. Experience delivering staff training, influencing stakeholders, and working with information security, procurement, technology, and legal teams would be highly valued.
