Are you an experienced Data Protection Analyst looking to take full ownership of privacy and data governance in a high-impact, standalone role?

A prestigious financial services and asset finance organisation in London seeks a confident and capable Data Protection Analyst to lead data privacy activity across its Asset Finance & Leasing division. You’ll play a vital role in embedding data protection best practices, ensuring compliance with UK GDPR and other key regulations, and driving a culture of privacy awareness across the business.

What makes this Data Protection role stand out?

• Ownership: This is a standalone position within the division, giving you genuine influence and the autonomy to shape and deliver the data protection programme.
• Hybrid Flexibility: Enjoy a hybrid working model, with just 2–3 days a week in the London office.
• Supportive Environment: Although this is a standalone role, you’ll have 2nd line guidance from Group-level SMEs and the DPO.
• Impact: You’ll be a key partner to stakeholders across the business, with visibility at senior levels and the chance to make a lasting impact.
• Standalone role, executing the divisional data protection activities in alignment with Group policy and governance frameworks.
• Ensure compliance with data protection laws (including UK GDPR), internal policies, and data retention and destruction protocols.
• Deliver clear, engaging training sessions to enhance awareness and understanding of data protection across the division.
• Complete Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs), support Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), and contribute to audits.
• Respond to Subject Access Requests (SARs) and other privacy-related queries.
• Monitor operational and conduct risks, maintain risk logs, and escalate issues to senior management where appropriate.
• Partner closely with stakeholders across all three lines of defence to ensure strong, risk-aware governance.

Skills & Experience - Data Protection Advisor

• Proven experience in a dedicated data protection role within financial services (NOT ESSENTIAL) or a regulated environment.
• Strong understanding of UK data protection laws and regulations (UK GDPR, FCA, CCA, FLA etc.).
• Recognised data protection qualification (e.g. CIPP/E, CIPM, BCS or similar).
• Experience delivering data protection training and driving cultural change.
• Confident stakeholder manager – able to influence, advise and communicate complex privacy issues clearly.
• Self-starter, highly organised, and delivery-focused – comfortable working independently.

Why Apply?

This is an exciting opportunity to work in a respected financial institution known for its stability, innovation, and commitment to personal development. You’ll have exposure to senior leadership, the autonomy to shape your role, and access to wide-ranging career progression opportunities across the group.
