About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own our privacy frameworks end-to-end: Maintain and continuously improve the ROPA, data mapping and third-party risk programme so they're accurate, scalable and understood by the people who use them.
Lead the DPIA process: Run end-to-end assessments for new products, features and integrations, ensuring higher-risk processing gets proper scrutiny and a consistent standard of output.
Be the internal authority on NHS IG: Lead our annual DSPT submission and own day-to-day NHS Information Governance compliance, building deep expertise the business can rely on.
Act as the primary advisory point: Handle the majority of data protection and IG queries from across the business, giving practical, well-reasoned guidance and knowing when to escalate.
Own supplier due diligence: Lead vendor privacy reviews, including DPA reviews, TIAs, DPIAs for high-risk suppliers and security questionnaire reviews.
Handle individual rights requests: Lead on complex or sensitive DSRs, ensuring responses are accurate, timely and well-considered.
Build privacy culture: Design and deliver training and awareness activities that make privacy feel practical and relevant, not a blocker.
