Data Protection Business Partner

The Role – Data Protection Business Partner

We are a dynamic forward‑thinking, innovative and growing group. Since 2015, our data protection responsibilities and work streams have grown significantly. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do – we believe that working together as one team across the Group is better for our customers, our businesses, and our employees. Data protection compliance is an enabler for our businesses and projects, not a business prevention role.

This is an office‑based role but requires traveling across the UK to attend business units and officers. Some visits may involve overnight stays. Flexibility and a willingness to travel are essential.

• Support group‑wide integration, management and oversight of compliance with data protection legislation (Data Protection Act 2018, UK/EU GDPR) and PIB Group policies, including projects, policies, procedures and training.
• Conduct in‑depth compliance reviews across all PIB businesses, documenting findings, mapping processes and systems/sub‑processors, maintaining key registers, and reporting risks and non‑compliance to business leaders and senior management.
• Provide ongoing advice, guidance and support on data protection, records management and information security (including breaches, incidents and subject access requests), ensuring all activities meet legal and regulatory requirements.
• Promote a strong culture of data protection compliance, maintain effective relationships across the Group, stay up to date with regulatory changes, and assist the Group Data Protection Manager and Data Protection Officer as required.

• Strong communication skills (written and verbal), with a positive, confident, can‑do attitude and eagerness to learn; able to build and maintain positive working relationships across the wider Group.
• Highly organised and analytical, with strong planning skills, attention to detail and proven experience of managing own workload, handling multiple work streams, and producing clear reports from data gathered across multiple sources.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office, especially Teams, Excel, Outlook and Word, and able to work both independently and effectively as part of a team.
• Previous experience of working in a data protection, compliance or audit role is desirable but not essential.

• An attractive benefits package, including 26 days’ holiday, pension, access to healthcare support and a range of other flexible benefits.
• A collaborative and supportive working environment, where you can refine your industry knowledge and skills, or even progress into other areas of the business.
• Once fully trained into your role, you will have the option to work from home every Friday if you wish.

We are an equal opportunities employer, committed to hiring a diverse and inclusive workforce. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, gender, religion, disability, age, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law.
