Data Protection Officer

Oculus Legal Group is working with a well-established professional services business in Scotland that supports organisations across a broad range of sectors with data protection, privacy, and governance matters. This is a genuinely client-facing DPO position, suited to someone who enjoys being close to the commercial reality of clients’ businesses rather than operating in a purely advisory or tick-box capacity.

The role in practice

You’ll take responsibility for acting as an outsourced Data Protection Officer for a portfolio of clients, providing practical, proportionate guidance across all aspects of GDPR and wider data protection compliance. The work is varied and hands‑on. One day you may be advising on a live data incident; the next, helping a client strengthen their governance framework or delivering training to senior stakeholders.

You’ll work alongside colleagues in technology, risk, and compliance, with plenty of autonomy but strong internal support.

Key responsibilities

• Acting as the main DPO contact for assigned clients
• Advising on GDPR compliance, regulatory risk, data breaches, and SARs
• Reviewing existing frameworks and identifying areas for improvement
• Drafting and updating policies, procedures, and data processing documentation
• Supporting client education and internal knowledge sharing
