Data Protection Officer

**Who we are**:
We’re Policy Expert, a Personal Lines insurance provider and we’re on a mission to shake up the personal insurance industry. We feel that insurers have under-served customers for too long with confusing policies, expensive renewals, and frustrating claims processes. It is time to put customers first

Since we formed in 2011, we’ve been using breakthrough thinking and proprietary tech to provide insurance that’s clear, fair and great value. And people like what we do. So much so that we now have well over one million customers, driven by our double-digit growth. We also take great pride in having been the UK’s No.1-rated home insurance provider for 9 years.

We have big aspirations. Our ‘North Star’ is ‘To be the most successful insurance disruptor people want to stay with for life’. As we grow, we plan on continuing to challenge the norms of an insurance industry whose reputation for customer trust is low, where switching between providers is high and insurance cover is often seen as a costly ‘grudge purchase’.

We aim to build longer and deeper relationships with our customers and to help them see insurance as being a help, not a hindrance.

**The role and what youll be doing**:

We’re seeking a data protection officer to help our management of potentially sensitive information, conduct regular internal security audits, and serve as the main point of contact between the business and data protection authorities.
