Job description

£85-95k, Crawley

One Office Day per week after onboarding

Would you like to work for one of the UK’s high-growth consumer adventure and experience organisations?

It’s a fun, data-focussed organisation and that is truly mission-led.

This is an opportunity for you to lead a privacy team and play a key role in enabling their growing data ambitions. You’ll be the senior figurehead for data protection, advising on complex data use, privacy risk and regulatory obligations.

What makes this one different is the variety. The organisation is investing in growth, digital improvement and better use of data, so you’ll need to be pragmatic, credible and comfortable advising senior leaders while helping the business find workable ways to do things properly.

They would welcome candidates who have operated as a DPO before, or senior privacy leaders ready to step into a designated DPO role. Experience in a membership, retail, consumer, charity, leisure, travel or similarly data-rich environment would be particularly relevant.

The role offers hybrid working, with more office time during onboarding and around one day per week in the office thereafter.

Package includes £85-95k salary, private healthcare, annual wellbeing allowance plus huge company discounts and professional training.

Unfortunately, sponsorship is not available for this role.
