Data Protection Manager
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Manager to lead and develop a robust data protection and privacy framework across the organisation. You will provide practical, risk-based advice to colleagues at all levels, supporting compliance with applicable data protection legislation, regulatory requirements and internal policies. This is an influential role requiring strong professional judgement, excellent communication skills and the ability to translate complex legal and regulatory requirements into clear, workable guidance.
Your responsibilities will include maintaining and reviewing data protection policies, procedures, records of processing activities and data retention arrangements. You will oversee privacy impact assessments, legitimate interest assessments, data sharing agreements and the management of data subject rights requests. You will also support the investigation and reporting of personal data breaches, coordinate responses to regulatory enquiries, and help ensure appropriate technical and organisational safeguards are in place. The role will involve monitoring compliance, preparing management information and delivering engaging training and awareness activity across the organisation.
Applicants should have significant experience in a data protection, privacy, compliance or information governance role, together with a detailed understanding of the UK GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018 and related guidance. A recognised privacy or data protection qualification, such as CIPP/E, CIPM, BCS or equivalent professional experience, would be advantageous. You should be confident managing competing priorities, working independently and building effective relationships with legal, information security, technology, human resources and operational teams. Experience of conducting audits, managing data incidents and embedding a culture of privacy by design is desirable. In return, this role offers the opportunity to shape organisational practice, strengthen data governance and make a meaningful contribution to the responsible use of personal information.
