Senior Information Compliance Officer

**Senior Information Compliance Officer - 12M Fixed Term **





The Information Compliance team are responsible for the University’s approach
to Data Protection/GDPR and work across the university to support the
processing of all personal data. This ranges from getting involved in
individual subject access requests through to world-renowned research.





This is a key role in improving the privacy practices within the university.
In the short and medium-term the focus will be on the provision of advice and
guidance to our divisions and departments on the detailed application of data
protection requirements, such as privacy by design and data protection impact
assessments; and the further development and implementation of University-wide
guidance and policy.





Whilst the work will cover the full range of the University’s activities, much
of it is likely to focus on the University’s extensive and world-renowned
research, and the increasing demands made by funders for assurance that data
privacy requirements are met.





You should be enthusiastic and highly motivated, capable of working in all
areas of the team’s work, particularly the investigation of personal data
breaches; and the development and provision of policy/advice and project work.





As the successful applicant you should be able to clearly demonstrate:





• A strong knowledge of data protection law and GDPR



• Proven experience in project management delivery



• An ability to assess risk and find pragmatic solutions



• Excellent information retrieval, analytical and problem-solving skills



• Strong interpersonal and organisational skills



• A strength of character, with a commitment to completing tasks to tight
deadlines.





Please submit your CV and a supporting statement as part of your application.





Only applications received before 12:00 Noon on Monday 15 July 2024 will be
considered.
