Data Protection and Compliance Officer
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection and Compliance Officer to support the effective management of privacy, information governance and regulatory compliance across the organisation. This role will provide practical advice on data protection requirements, help embed a culture of responsible information handling, and ensure that policies and procedures remain aligned with applicable legislation and recognised best practice.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring compliance with data protection laws and internal standards; maintaining and reviewing privacy notices, policies, records of processing activities and data retention schedules; advising colleagues on lawful processing, data sharing, consent, direct marketing and individual rights; and coordinating responses to access requests and other data subject enquiries. You will support privacy impact assessments, third-party due diligence, audits and compliance reviews, while helping to investigate and manage personal data breaches. The role will also involve delivering awareness training, preparing management information, tracking remedial actions and working with stakeholders to resolve risks in a timely and proportionate manner.
Applicants should have demonstrable experience in data protection, information governance, risk, audit or a closely related compliance role, together with a sound understanding of relevant privacy legislation and regulatory guidance. A recognised data protection or compliance qualification is desirable. You will be confident interpreting complex requirements, communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences, and exercising sound judgement when handling sensitive information. Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities are essential. The successful candidate will be proactive, discreet and collaborative, with the confidence to challenge constructively and promote continuous improvement in privacy and compliance practices.
