• Support operational privacy workstreams, including data subject rights requests, data mapping, Records of Processing Activities and Data Protection Impact Assessments.
• Assess privacy risks relating to projects, suppliers, systems and personal data incidents, escalating significant or complex matters when appropriate.
• Support privacy awareness activity, reporting, assurance reviews and the continued improvement of privacy processes and controls.

• At least two years' practical experience in data privacy operations, data governance or a closely related area.
• Hands-on experience of data retention, privacy operations or delivering privacy-related projects.
