Data Protection Analyst
We are seeking a Data Protection Analyst to support the effective management, monitoring and continuous improvement of data protection practices across the organisation. Working with colleagues across legal, compliance, information security, technology and business teams, you will help ensure that personal data is handled lawfully, securely and transparently throughout its lifecycle. This is an opportunity to contribute to a mature privacy framework while developing practical solutions to evolving regulatory and operational requirements.
Your responsibilities will include maintaining records of processing activities, supporting data protection impact assessments and legitimate interest assessments, and assisting with the review of privacy notices, policies, procedures and data-sharing arrangements. You will help manage individual rights requests, personal data breaches, consent records and third-party due diligence, ensuring activities are documented accurately and progressed within agreed timescales. You will also monitor regulatory developments, identify potential compliance gaps, prepare reports and management information, and support internal audits and risk assessments. The role may involve advising teams on privacy requirements for new products, systems, projects and supplier relationships.
Applicants should have practical experience in data protection, privacy, information governance, compliance or a closely related field, together with a sound understanding of applicable data protection principles and regulatory obligations. A relevant qualification or professional certification is desirable, as is experience with GDPR, records of processing, data subject rights, breach management and privacy impact assessments. You will be analytical, organised and confident working with detailed information, while able to explain complex requirements clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. Strong written communication, sound judgement, discretion and a collaborative approach are essential. Experience using governance, risk or case-management systems, and the ability to prioritise competing deadlines, would be advantageous.
