You will be acting as a consultant DP advisor for a variety of household name clients, working across all aspects of data protection from training to internal audits, report writing/presenting and implementing recommendations.

This is a client facing role and is a strategic hire for the company, offering autonomy and a high level of responsibility and reward for the right individual.
