Interim Data Protection Officer / Senior Privacy Lawyer – Contract
We are currently supporting a leading organisation that is looking to appoint an experienced Data Protection Officer (DPO) or Senior Privacy Lawyer to join the team on a long-term contract basis.
The requirement has arisen due to changes within the team, and the successful individual will play a key role in providing senior-level privacy and data protection expertise while helping to develop and improve the organisation’s privacy framework and processes.
The Role
- This is a hands-on, commercially focused privacy role that would suit someone who combines strong technical data protection knowledge with a practical, solutions-oriented approach.
- You will be responsible for advising the business on a broad range of privacy and data protection matters, while also helping to build, improve and embed effective processes across the organisation.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide expert advice on UK and international data protection and privacy matters.
- Support the business with day-to-day privacy compliance and risk management.
- Develop, improve and implement privacy policies, processes and frameworks.
- Provide pragmatic, commercially focused advice to stakeholders across the business.
- Identify and manage data protection risks, ensuring appropriate compliance measures are in place.
- Work closely with legal, compliance, technology and wider business teams.
- Help embed a strong data protection culture across the organisation.
- Support the ongoing development and maturity of the organisation’s privacy function.
About You
We are looking for someone with:
- At least 4 years’ post-qualification experience (PQE) in privacy/data protection law, or equivalent senior DPO experience.
- Strong knowledge of data protection and privacy compliance.
- Experience working in a commercial, in-house or business-facing environment.
- A practical “can-do” attitude and the ability to provide pragmatic, actionable advice.
- Experience building, improving and implementing privacy processes.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
- The ability to balance regulatory requirements with commercial and business objectives.
- A proactive approach and the confidence to operate independently.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced privacy professional who enjoys being hands-on, working closely with the business and making a tangible impact on privacy processes and compliance.
If you are an experienced DPO or Senior Privacy Lawyer and are available for a long-term contract of 3–5 days per week, we would love to hear from you.
