Data Privacy Specialist

Flexible working - We are guided by our client work and needs; however, you have autonomy to manage your time and diary to suit your work/life balance. Being an expert in privacy isn't enough, establishing trust and confidence when doing business and carrying out personal transactions is of vital importance in an increasingly interconnected world. You will help ensure that our clients meet their duty of responsibility to ensure customer, partner, and third-party information is adequately protected, particularly as technology transforms the way we interact. Our Data Privacy Consulting Services help organizations assess and achieve compliance, create new business strategies to take advantage of the new legislation, monitor trends and technology, adopt new technology to make compliance more effective and implement the people and process governance to make data privacy part of business as usual. As part of our Team your experience will bring fresh solutions to new, and established, compliance requirements. Your involvement will vary from assisting in delivering data privacy projects to acting as a subject matter expert on them or to leading a team, typically involving both PA and client staff. Furthermore, you may be involved in development of the team or in proactively identifying and pursuing opportunities for further business and team growth.

You must be an established consulting professional with experience in delivering projects focused on data protection and privacy laws in the private sector. Ideally, you should have experience consulting with Life Sciences or Financial Service sector clients. You should also have the following skills/experiences:

• Possession of relevant qualifications such as CIPM, CIPT, CIPP/E, CISM, CISSP, and/or HCISSP, as well as involvement in industry related organizations (e.g. IAPP, ISACA, (ISC)²) are desirable. Where you do not have the qualifications, we will support you in achieving them
