Competitive six-figure salary + bonus + equity
I’m working with a well-established, international technology business to appoint a Head of Privacy & DPO.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced privacy lawyer to take ownership of the global privacy strategy within a fast-moving, data-driven organisation with a significant international presence.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the General Counsel, you will be the most senior privacy specialist in the business, with considerable autonomy, exposure to senior leadership and the opportunity to shape the future of the privacy function.
Key Responsibilities Include
- Leading and developing the global privacy and data protection strategy.
- Advising on complex international privacy regulations, data usage and digital products.
- Working closely with product, technology, marketing and commercial teams to support innovation and growth.
- Providing strategic advice to senior executives and the Board.
- Overseeing privacy governance, compliance and risk management.
- Helping to develop the privacy function as the business continues to evolve.
Who are we looking for?
We are interested in speaking with senior privacy lawyers who have:
- 8+ years’ post-qualification experience (PQE).
- Strong experience across UK, EU and international data protection regulations.
- A background within technology, digital platforms or other data-rich, consumer-facing businesses.
- A commercial mindset and the ability to balance regulatory requirements with business objectives.
- Experience influencing senior stakeholders and operating with a high degree of autonomy.
- An interest in emerging privacy challenges, including AI, digital products and evolving international regulation.
Why consider this opportunity?
This is more than a traditional compliance-focused privacy role. You’ll have the opportunity to influence commercial strategy, work closely with senior decision-makers and play a central role in how an international technology business approaches privacy.
There is also potential for the position to evolve into a broader legal leadership role over time.
If you’re an experienced privacy lawyer looking for greater autonomy, strategic influence and long-term career progression, I’d be keen to hear from you.
