St Pancras and Somers Town, United Kingdom CV-Library Full time

We have an exciting opportunity available for a Data Privacy Advisor to join one of the world’s leading research Institutes at a crucial time in its evolution, and play a definitive role in shaping it for the future. You will join us on a full time, permanent basis, and in return, you will receive a competitive salary starting from £46,437 per annum plus benefits, subject to skills and experience

The Crick’s mission is discovery without boundaries; we don’t limit the direction our research takes. We want to understand more about how living things work to help improve treatment, diagnosis, and prevention of human disease, and generate economic opportunities for the UK. Much of our research is both data- and compute-intensive and relies on advanced Scientific Computing systems, services, and skills.

The Data Privacy Advisor role:

The Francis Crick Institute is one of the world’s leading biomedical research institutes. You will help the Crick deliver its scientific mission in compliance with legal, charitable and regulatory requirements.

As a Data Privacy Advisor, you will be part of the Crick’s Legal and Governance team. We are a full-service function responsible for legal, contractual, regulatory, data protection and company secretarial matters. We provide commercial legal advice and transactional support for all parts of the Crick.  We oversee data privacy compliance jointly with the Information Technology team. We also provide a full secretariat service to the boards and committees of the Crick and its subsidiaries.

This is a busy role in a friendly team where collegiality, professionalism and attention to detail are key. Working closely with senior colleagues, you will manage and maintain a programme for compliance with regulation and help to embed a culture of learning and improved ways of working. You will also help deliver the Legal and Governance team’s strategy, working closely with team members and stakeholders to establish best practice and new ways of working. The work will be varied, reflecting the different types of relationships with commercial and academic organisations and our ambition for our legal operations to be best in class.

While the primary focus of this role is to lead on data privacy matters, it would also be highly suited to an enthusiastic individual who is interested in developing their career by expanding into ethics and compliance. This could include responsibility for conflict of interests, internal policies, and the Crick’s Code of conduct.

Responsibilities of our Data Privacy Advisor:

These include but are not limited to: 

Lead on the delivery of the Crick’s data protection compliance roadmap, maintain the Crick’s privacy framework, update processes, monitor compliance

With the Deputy Chief Information Security Officer, co-chair the Data Privacy, Architecture and Cybersecurity meetings, and work with key stakeholders to ensure continued embedding of data privacy considerations and increased expertise

Maintain data privacy policies, processes and procedures in line with applicable legislation and the Crick’s needs

Develop and promote ongoing learning and awareness of data privacy and other compliance topics

Produce management information for relevant boards and committees

Be the key contact for data protection enquiries from across the Crick

Provide advice and expertise on data privacy (eg DPA 2018, UK GDPR, PECR, FOI requests, privacy by design and by default, DPIAs, data incident investigation, DSAR management)

Handle complex cases and review/draft/advise on privacy provisions across a wide range of operational and research contracts (eg supplier, collaboration and data sharing agreements)

Undertake and/or review DPIAs for key projects, DSARs, erasure and other rights requests and lead investigations into potential data breaches

Ensure the Crick’s Register of Processing Activities is up to date by providing support and guidance to Crick teams to help them maintain their listings in the Crick’s ROPA

Keep abreast of legal developments in data privacy and other compliance topics and related guidance issued by UK authorities

Help to create and share contract templates, resources and other internal guidance and training to promote awareness and regulatory compliance. Instruct external counsel

Maintain internal register of laws and regulations applying to Crick and help to provide/procure advice on those, as required

As a member of Legal and Governance team, provide advice and support on projects and transactions, as required

Skills and experience we are looking for in our Data Privacy Advisor??????:

You will be a data privacy expert with around 2-5 years’ experience in this area. You may also be a qualified lawyer with a similar level of knowledge and expertise

Experience of supporting data protection compliance in practice (e.g., DSAR, DPIA, data security and breach management)

The ability to think strategically, plan and deliver projects. Ability to assess complex scenarios so as to give high-quality advice and identify pragmatic solutions

Confident to challenge ways of doing things

A strong commitment to organisational effectiveness. Ability to handle a varied workload, competing demands and tights deadlines in a fast-moving environment.  Methodical in approach and with an excellent attention to detail

Good interpersonal skills (e.g., tact, integrity, confidentiality, patience). Ability to build personal credibility quickly and develop and maintain effective relationships, including working with people with differing perspectives and needs

Communicates effectively in writing and in speech with a concise, compelling writing style and strong written accuracy. Ability to present complex information in clear and simple communications to all levels of the organisation. Good legal drafting skills
