This role suits an individual who can work autonomously, is comfortable taking responsibility for decisions, can identify opportunities to improve compliance and has the ability to deliver those improvements.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Continuously developing your data protection knowledge and expertise
  • Providing advice and guidance to colleagues.
