The successful candidate will work with colleagues across a range of business areas and will be confident explaining complex regulatory requirements in a clear and accessible way.
Key responsibilities will include supporting data protection impact assessments, records of processing activities, legitimate interest assessments, privacy notices, data-sharing arrangements and the management of data subject rights requests. You will assist with monitoring compliance against applicable data protection legislation and internal policies, contribute to audits and risk assessments, and help maintain accurate documentation and reporting.
