- Record and report findings, following up with relevant stakeholders and management to ensure any issues have been rectified sufficiently.
- Support the organisation in creating policies and procedures incorporating robust compliance controls.
- Keep up-to-date with knowledge of relevant laws and regulations.
- Report compliance risks to business operations and management; and escalate any areas of concern.
- Investigate and report on compliance risks brought to your attention.
- Engage with relevant stakeholders to provide support and advice and create a compliant culture.
- Educate employees on relevant laws and regulations, and risks of non-compliance.
- Produce reports for senior leaders and external bodies, including regulators.
- Produce management information and reporting against relevant KPIs to demonstrate the organisation’s level of compliance with key GDPR controls.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills.

- Good attention to detail and analytical skills.
- Ability to deliver at pace, work independently using your initiative and effectively manage multiple competing priorities.
- Strong IT skills and competence in core Microsoft apps including Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
- Experience of working well with others, operating with integrity and openness, valuing diversity, and respecting the contribution of others.

Desirable Criteria
- Line management and leadership experience.
- Adaptability, flexibility and ability to cope with uncertainty and change.
- Excellent organisation and planning skills.
