The role requires someone who can move comfortably between interpreting complex legal requirements, advising senior stakeholders and implementing the processes and controls needed to manage privacy risk effectively.<\/p>\n<p>The business already has foundational privacy policies, processes and documentation in place. The priority is to build on these foundations, understand the underlying technology and data flows, identify gaps and ensure the privacy framework is practical, proportionate and scalable.<\/p>\n<p>Working closely with Product, Engineering, Data, Marketing and other business functions, you will help embed privacy into day-to-day operations and support the responsible use of data, including emerging technologies and new data-driven initiatives.<\/p>\n<h2>Key responsibilities<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Own and develop the organisation&#8217;s privacy governance framework, including policies, RoPAs, risk registers, retention schedules and associated controls.<\/li>\n<li>Act as the principal in-house legal advisor on privacy and data protection, providing practical, risk-based guidance to stakeholders and senior management.<\/li>\n<li>Work closely with technology, product and data teams to understand data flows, assess risks and embed Privacy by Design.<\/li>\n<li>Manage core privacy compliance activities, including DPIAs, LIAs, data-sharing assessments and individual rights requests.<\/li>\n<li>Lead the privacy aspects of data incidents and breaches, including regulatory assessments, notification obligations and remediation.<\/li>\n<li>Advise on data-sharing arrangements, international transfers, data protection agreements and the responsible use of personal data.<\/li>\n<li>Support data-driven initiatives, including advertising technology, profiling, AI and emerging technologies.<\/li>\n<li>Develop privacy awareness and training, ensuring legal requirements translate into practical business processes.<\/li>\n<li>Monitor regulatory developments and support privacy matters arising from corporate transactions and international operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>About you<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Qualified lawyer with significant experience advising on UK and European privacy and data protection law.<\/li>\n<li>Strong in-house experience, combining legal advisory work with the development and operation of privacy programmes.<\/li>\n<li>Comfortable taking ownership of privacy matters independently, from complex legal analysis through to practical implementation.<\/li>\n<li>Technically confident, with the ability to understand data flows, engage with engineering and product teams, and translate technical issues into clear legal advice.<\/li>\n<li>Experience managing privacy governance, DPIAs, RoPAs, data rights, incident response and associated compliance processes.<\/li>\n<li>Strong commercial judgement, communication skills and the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels.<\/li>\n<li>Experience working in a fast-paced environment where priorities and technologies evolve quickly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Experience in technology platforms, AdTech, AI governance or international privacy matters would be advantageous. Additional privacy qualifications, such as CIPP\/E or CIPM, are also relevant.<\/p>\n<h2>The role<\/h2>\n<p>This position would suit a privacy lawyer who wants to do more than provide legal advice. It offers the opportunity to take genuine ownership of a privacy function, strengthen its operational foundations and work directly with the teams responsible for developing and using technology and data.<\/p>\n<p>The emphasis is on combining strong legal judgement with the practical ability to build, operate and continuously improve an effective privacy programme.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;font-size: 8pt\">Please note our advertisements use PQE\/salary levels purely as a guide.
