- Hands‑on experience delivering DPIAs, TIAs, control design, data privacy assessments and privacy risk management.
- Experience operating in banking, insurance, fintech or another large financial services environment.
- Ability to influence senior stakeholders and translate privacy obligations into practical business and technology outcomes.
- Confidence working with agile delivery, product teams, cloud platforms, data governance tools or privacy management platforms such as OneTrust, Collibra, Purview or BigID.
- A proactive, pragmatic style with the ability to balance regulatory expectations, customer outcomes and commercial priorities.
This role offers the chance to take on a visible senior position with a respected financial services client undergoing meaningful change across privacy, data, technology and controls.
