Data Protection Advisor

Data Privacy Advisor

We’re looking for a curious and collaborative privacy professional to join a busy in-house privacy function, helping to embed good data protection practice across a large, multi-site financial services group.

This is a hands-on role with broad exposure — you’ll be working with people across the business, from front-line staff to senior stakeholders, supporting them to handle personal data responsibly and in line with regulatory expectations.

What you’ll be doing

• Acting as a day-to-day point of contact for data privacy queries, providing clear and practical guidance to colleagues across the business
• Supporting the handling of Data Subject Requests and privacy incidents, helping to ensure responses are timely, accurate and well-documented
• Building relationships across business functions to understand how personal data is used and where risks may arise
• Contributing to projects and initiatives that help develop and improve the privacy programme
• Helping to shape and communicate policies and processes in a way that lands well with different audiences

What we’re looking for

• Some grounding in data protection — whether through a formal role in a privacy or compliance team, or relevant exposure in an adjacent function
• A genuine interest in privacy as a discipline, with the curiosity to keep learning as regulation and best practice evolve
• Strong communication skills — you’ll be explaining complex requirements to non-specialists, so the ability to translate and simplify is key
• A collaborative, approachable style; this role is relationship-heavy and you’ll need to be comfortable engaging with a wide range of people
• Some experience supporting projects or process improvements would be a plus
