What you’ll be doing:

  • Advising on UK GDPR and Data Protection Act compliance
  • Supporting commercial and data protection contracting (DPAs, SCCs)
  • Advising on data subject rights, international transfers, cookies, and e-marketing
  • Assisting with DPIAs and records of processing activities
  • Researching regulatory developments, enforcement trends, and case law
  • Helping develop policies, templates, and training materials


About you:

  • 1–3 PQE (or equivalent)
  • Experience in private practice or in-house across commercial contracts and/or data protection
  • Strong drafting skills and commercial awareness
  • Keen to build specialist expertise in data privacy within a structured environment


If you’re weighing up your first move in-house, or looking for a role that offers both quality work and long-term progression, this is well worth a conversation.
