Data Protection Officer

Senior professional to head-of

Owns the data protection programme for a country, region or group under GDPR and local privacy law: policies and standard clauses, the register of processing, impact assessments and privacy-by-design reviews of marketing, HR and IT projects, data subject requests and breach response, training and awareness, and the relationship with the supervisory authority. Success is judged on an auditable, up-to-date compliance programme, requests and incidents handled within statutory deadlines, no regulator findings or fines, and a business that can use consumer data for marketing and digital growth with confidence.
