Job Description:

Join us, be part of more.

We’re more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers, a team of 21,000 colleagues energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, while living our commitment to positive change in communities. Here, you can find more purpose, passion, and potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently — we make, store, move, sell, and mend it.

We have an exciting entry-level opportunity for a Data Protection Analyst in our Privacy Team on a 12-month secondment/fixed-term contract. In this role, you will be part of our legal function, delivering Centrica's strategy and protecting its interests by enabling effective, risk-based decision-making. We provide expert advice and insight to help navigate legal, regulatory, and compliance environments.

In this role, you will support the business, customers, and the Data Protection Manager by providing quality, timely advice and support.

• Managing data subject rights requests within statutory timeframes
• Handling legal data disclosure requests per legal requirements and company policy
• Supporting the business with customer and employee data privacy complaints
• Assisting in managing data privacy breaches and ICO complaints
• Providing advice on data privacy matters
• Supporting the Data Privacy Office in implementing the Global Privacy Programme and related projects

What we’re looking for:

• Initiative, self-motivation, strong organisation skills, and the ability to review data creatively and engagingly
• The ability to build strong relationships and adopt a flexible, commercially focused approach to risk resolution
• A structured, logical, and organised working style, with the ability to reassess and pitch processes to the Data Protection Manager
• Experience in interpreting analysis and communicating results effectively across functions
• Knowledge of in-house data privacy practices; relevant qualifications are desirable but not essential
