ASAP Start

We are recruiting for an experienced Data Protection Specialist to join a growing organisation on an interim basis.

This is a hands-on operational role focused on managing Subject Access Requests (SARs), supporting GDPR compliance and improving data protection processes. This is not a strategic lead position; we are looking for someone who enjoys getting into the detail, managing requests and delivering practical privacy support.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage the end-to-end SAR process, ensuring accurate and timely responses
• Handle other data subject rights requests, including erasure and restriction requests
• Review information, apply redactions and assess exemptions under UK GDPR
• Maintain accurate records and reporting
• Support DPIAs, data breaches and privacy compliance activities
• Provide practical data protection advice to stakeholders
• Identify opportunities to improve and streamline privacy processes

Experience Required:

• 2-5 years’ experience in Data Protection, Privacy, Information Governance or Compliance
• Strong experience managing SARs / DSARs
• Good understanding of UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
• Experience handling sensitive information and working with multiple stakeholders
• Strong organisational skills with a process improvement mindset

Experience within a regulated environment and knowledge of privacy tools (e.g. SAR/eDiscovery systems) would be beneficial.

This is a great opportunity for a hands-on Data Protection Specialist to make an immediate impact while helping improve and mature a growing privacy function.
