* HOURS:

** Full time
** WORKING PATTERN:
** Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites.
** About this opportunity
** We’re looking for a technically strong data specialist to advance how we deliver high-impact, insight-driven oversight within the Data Privacy, Retention & Records Management Risk team.

This is not a traditional privacy or programme delivery role. It is suited to someone who understands how data is structured, processed and controlled in real systems, and can use that expertise to assess how data use translates into real privacy and customer outcomes.

You’ll operate at the forefront of how we evolve oversight—bringing deeper technical interrogation, clearer insight, and stronger evidence of how risks manifest in practice. This includes assessing:
· How intrusive data processing is within real implementations
· How code and models influence automated decision-making (ADM) and customer outcomes
· Whether data structures and architecture support proportionate, non-invasive processing

Working with Senior Managers and the Head of Function, you’ll apply and continuously improve analytical methods, tooling and repeatable routines that increase the quality, consistency and impact of oversight.

A strong understanding of the end-to-end data lifecycle is essential. Prior privacy experience is not required – your value comes from translating technical data behaviour into clear, actionable risk insight that drives improvement.

This role does not focus on delivering privacy programmes or producing management reporting; it focuses on interrogating data, systems and code to evidence how privacy risks manifest in practice.

* Key responsibilities:

** 1. Insight-Led & Thematic Oversight (Primary Focus)
· Conduct targeted thematic analysis to assess how data practices translate into real privacy and customer outcomes
· Interrogate code, data pipelines and models to understand:o The level of intrusion in processingo Impact on automated decision-making and customer outcomeso Alignment with principles of proportionality and data minimisation
· Identify where controls are ineffective in practice, providing clear, evidence-based challenge
· Produce concise, high-impact insight that drives tangible improvement in business practices
2. Data Lifecycle, Architecture & DPIA Review
· Assess how data is collected, structured, transformed and retained within real systems and architectures
· Play a key role in reviewing Data Privacy Impact Assessments (DPIAs) by:o Interrogating the underlying data architecture, code and processing logico Testing whether risks and controls reflect actual system behaviour
· Conduct structured quality assurance of DPIAs, identifying gaps between documented intent and technical reality
· Develop and implement automation of repeat oversight activities, including scalable QA routines
3. Risk Insight & Practical Challenge
· Deliver focused, technically grounded challenge on data privacy risks, based on how systems and data operate in practice
· Translate technical findings into clear, outcome-driven risk insights for business stakeholders
· Support incident and issue analysis, focusing on root cause and control effectiveness
4. Collaboration & Influence
· Work closely across CCOR, Legal, Engineering and Data teams to ensure oversight is credible, practical and well-evidenced
· Influence stakeholders through clarity of insight rather than process ownership
