This is an exciting time to work in the Department for International Trade (DIT), at the very heart of the UK’s international trading relationship with the global economy.

DIT supports UK businesses to take advantage of the global appetite for British goods and services, as well as to assist international companies to collaborate with UK suppliers. We are based in Whitehall but also have offices both across the country and around the world.

Knowledge and information management play an important role within the Department for International Trade. It is imperative that systems and sustainable procedures are in place so that material is held securely, knowledge is not lost, and information is properly managed, controlled and exploited.

The Data Protection Team sits in the Knowledge and Information Management Team (KIM). Key KIM functions and responsibilities/ownership include information management, governance, organisation transparency, freedom of information, data protection and records management.

- Assisting the Deputy DPO as a key point of contact for handling data breach notifications, investigating incidents and making recommendations.
- Helping to drive engagement with and adherence to policies and standards at an operational level, shaping the overall data protection and information strategy.
- Providing assurance to ensure controls which manage data protection risks are adequately designed and implemented as to be effective.
- Assisting with the roll out of UK GDPR awareness across the department and wider business.

**Hybrid Working**

Please be aware that this role can only be worked from within the UK and not overseas.
