  • Advise on data protection matters such as Data Subject Requests, Personal Data Breaches, Data Protection Impact Assessments, vendor due diligence, and data retention.
  • Document and maintain Records of Processing Activities (RoPAs) for each in-scope entity, ensuring privacy notices reflect current practices.
  • Complete annual Data Protection risk assessments for internal governance reporting and support enterprise risk assessments.
  • Supervise data protection compliance, performing gap analyses, and coordinating remediation and training as vital.
  • Act as a referral point for data protection queries and advance issues to the Head of Data Protection as needed.

What We Offer:
  • A competitive salary of £65,000 - £85,000 per annum.
  • A range of benefits, including flexible working hours, hybrid working arrangements, and opportunities for professional development.
  • A supportive and inclusive work environment, with a commitment to diversity and inclusion.

This is an exciting opportunity to join Howden's team as a Data Protection Specialist. If you have a deep knowledge of UK and EU data protection laws and ePrivacy regulations, experience with data protection compliance in sophisticated, multi-company environments, and solid understanding of information technologies and data security best practices, we encourage you to apply.
