At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for a Data Privacy Manager to play a key role in our legal team in London. If that’s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.

Sounds great, what will I be doing?

As our data privacy manager you’ll be the main point of contact for privacy compliance to support GWI’s consumer research collected in over 50 countries worldwide and sold through a variety of technology enabled products. This is a unique opportunity to shape privacy practices at a global scale while staying at the forefront of innovation.

As Data Privacy Manager you’ll be the main point of the contact for privacy compliance here at GWI. The successful candidate will drive the implementation of robust privacy processes, mitigate data breach risks, and help team legal develop a culture of accountability and transparency.

It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. So you’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment as we grow.

What do I need to bring with me?

You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for:

In depth knowledge of relevant legislation including UK GDPR and GDPR and practical experience of their implementation in a business context.

Communication skills - you’ll need the ability to communicate with various stakeholders within the business and legal team. You’ll be providing lots of training so a passion for what you do is a must!

Problem solving mindset - we work in a complex and fast paced environment and we are looking for someone who thrives on analysing legal scenarios, anticipating risks and helping come up with practical solutions.

Relevant certifications are highly desirable. CIPP/E or CIPP/US from IAPP.

Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.

Interview steps

Preliminary phone call with the Talent Team (no video required)

First video interview with the hiring managers

Second (and final*) video interview with the hiring panel, often including a presentation, followed by a values conversation with members of the wider GWI community.

What’s in it for me?

You’ll do the sort of work that got you excited about your career in the first place - not as a cog in a machine, but as an individual whose contribution matters. So gigantic job satisfaction comes as standard, but it’s only part of the package. You’ll also get:
