We are seeking a privacy leader to take our program beyond compliance and embed privacy at the heart of strategy, innovation, and decision making. This is an exciting opportunity to lead NESA’s privacy program, ensuring compliance with data protection laws while shaping how we use data responsibly in an increasingly complex environment.

On a day-to-day basis you will be responsible for:
Responsibilities
- Maintain and enhance NESA’s enterprise privacy framework to ensure alignment with NSW and Commonwealth legislation and organisational strategy.
- Lead and coordinate Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) across projects, digital solutions, vendor engagements, and system changes, embedding privacy into planning and decision-making.
- Manage the privacy incident response process, including triage, investigation, documentation, and breach notifications, while driving continuous improvement.
- Coordinate statutory information requests such as GIPA applications, subpoenas, and lawful disclosures, ensuring timely and compliant handling.
- Govern the enterprise privacy register and conduct internal reviews and audits of personal data handling to strengthen accountability and adherence to best practices.
- Provide expert advice on privacy risks, regulatory compliance, third-party agreements, and emerging technologies, including AI, automation, and cross-border data flows.
- Develop and deliver engaging privacy education and awareness programs to build organisational capability and embed a strong culture of accountability.
- Drive the privacy maturity uplift program, defining, measuring, and reporting on performance using metrics, dashboards, and maturity models to inform senior leadership.
- Engage proactively in major transformation and change initiatives, collaborating with senior leaders and technical teams to integrate privacy requirements and support responsible innovation.
Ideal candidate
- Experience leading privacy programs, conducting PIAs, managing breaches and advising on compliance with privacy legislation.
- Strong knowledge of NSW and Commonwealth privacy, records, and information access frameworks.
- The ability to manage competing deadlines and deliver timely outcomes in line with regulatory requirements.
- Strong influencing, negotiation, and communication skills to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels.
- Proven experience driving cultural change and embedding privacy awareness across an organisation.
- A proactive and resilient approach, with the ability to think critically, solve problems and deliver practical solutions.
- Tertiary qualifications in a relevant discipline or demonstrated equivalent relevant professional experience.
- Working with Children Clearance (WWCC) for paid employment (prior to commencement, not required at application stage).
