Key Role in Data Protection

Data Privacy and Compliance Lead plays a pivotal role in ensuring an organisation meets its data protection obligations. The ideal candidate will have experience leading privacy programs, conducting Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs), managing breaches and advising on compliance with privacy legislation.

This role oversees the enterprise privacy framework, maintaining and enhancing it to ensure alignment with relevant legislation and organisational strategy.

On a day-to-day basis, this involves:

  • Maintaining and enhancing the enterprise privacy framework to ensure alignment with relevant legislation and organisational strategy.
  • Leading and coordinating Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) across projects, digital solutions, vendor engagements and system changes, embedding privacy into planning and decision-making.
  • Managing the privacy incident response process, including triage, investigation, documentation and breach notifications, while driving continuous improvement.
  • Coordinating statutory information requests such as GIPA applications, subpoenas and lawful disclosures, ensuring timely and compliant handling.
  • Governing the enterprise privacy register and conducting internal reviews and audits of personal data handling to strengthen accountability and adherence to best practices.
  • Providing expert advice on privacy risks, regulatory compliance, third-party agreements and emerging technologies, including AI, automation and cross-border data flows.
  • Developing and delivering engaging privacy education and awareness programs to build organisational capability and embed a strong culture of accountability.
  • Driving the privacy maturity uplift program, defining, measuring and reporting on performance using metrics, dashboards and maturity models to inform senior leadership.

The ideal candidate should possess tertiary qualifications in a relevant discipline or demonstrate equivalent relevant professional experience. A Working with Children Clearance (WWCC) for paid employment is also required.

This role requires leading Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) and providing expert advice to manage privacy risks in complex projects. Please describe a time when you identified and addressed a privacy or data protection risk in a project or initiative. What steps did you take to assess the risk, engage stakeholders and implement effective controls?

A key challenge of this role is driving staff understanding of privacy obligations and embedding a culture of privacy awareness across an organisation. Please provide an example of how you have successfully promoted compliance or cultural change in relation to privacy, information governance or regulatory requirements. What approach did you use, and what was the outcome?
