- Help drive a positive data protection culture and promote compliance awareness across the business, including developing data protection awareness campaigns and training programs
- Maintain expert knowledge of the data protection environment through frequent horizon scanning of new regulatory requirements and monitoring the industry landscape for any trends and best practices related to data protection

- 2 - 4 years of professional experience in a role involving privacy compliance, preferably within financial services, although this is not compulsory
