- Experience supporting GDPR remediation, uplift, or compliance programmes
- Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in contract or interim roles
- Confident, business‑facing communicator able to work with diverse stakeholders

Highly Desirable:

- Experience in regulated, healthcare, retail, or large complex organisations
- Exposure to privacy tooling and data mapping solutions (e.g. OneTrust)
What a Strong Candidate Looks Like

- Positive, proactive attitude with a "can‑do" approach
- Comfortable operating at pace and managing competing priorities
- Used to embedding quickly within new organisations
