Data Protection Manager

Data Protection Manager

Kingsley Napley LLP

Full time / permanent position – flexible applications always considered

A brand-new opportunity at Kingsley Napley (KN) for a Data Protection Manager to manage the firm’s data protection and information governance framework.

KN is entering a transformative era, and as Data Protection Manager you will play a key role in promoting data protection best practice across the business. Reporting to the firm’s DPO and working closely with the firm’s Information Security & Governance team, you will conduct information audits, risk assessments and vendor reviews within our information governance framework.

This role is dedicated to tackling our current and emerging challenges within a professional services & knowledge-based organisation - and KN is a growing and maturing business.

We are very open to individuals who do not have experience in law firms – but we are specifically looking for those with experience in mid-sized UK based organisations.

• We’re looking for someone who loves what they do; who keeps their finger on the pulse with changes to data and AI regulation
• Someone who is keen to make a difference in an incredibly diverse organisation
• We’re seeking a ‘completer/finisher’ and someone who is curious and communicative
• Someone who enjoys building relationships with teams and who is excited about a brand-new opportunity to make their own
• Extensive knowledge of the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, along with AI regulation, is a must and we are open to background

Whilst the role naturally aligns itself to Governance, Risk & Compliance, IT, Information Security and Innovation, collaboration across various stakeholders and business services teams will be integral to the roles success.

Kingsley Napley Ethos:

Whilst we are proud of the work we do, it is our people who are the key to our success. KN takes wellness and well-being very seriously, and we have a number of initiatives and programmes in place to ensure that our people feel included, happy and motivated at work. We look for passionate, committed and diverse ‘team players’ whose core values align with ours.

KN has been consistently voted a top firm to work for by Best Companies. We genuinely value flexibility, wellness and wellbeing and allow every individual to authentically be themselves at work.

KN also offers a competitive salary, excellent benefits package and a flexible/hybrid working model.
