You’ll be part of a small specialist Privacy team that supports colleagues across Cambridge University Press & Assessment’s global operations, working alongside the wider Legal & Business Affairs function.
You’ll act as a trusted partner to teams across the organisation, helping them navigate privacy and information governance requirements confidently and consistently. You’ll also help shape and run Cambridge’s privacy, responsible AI and information governance framework—making it easier for teams to do the right thing, every day. Success in this role means delivering responsive, high‑quality operational support, maintaining strong governance and records, and spotting opportunities to improve how we manage privacy risk at pace.

This position has been classified as a hybrid role, requiring the selected candidate to typically spend 40–60 % of their time collaborating and connecting face‑to‑face at their dedicated location. Flexible working requests will be considered from the first day of employment.
