About the role
About the Role
We are seeking a dedicated Privacy Officer to ensure ongoing compliance with UK and international data protection regulations. This role involves maintaining the organisation’s Privacy Information Management System, conducting privacy risk assessments, and supporting the implementation of data protection initiatives. You’ll work closely with the Group Privacy Officer and a network of Data Protection Coordinators to ensure policies, standards, and guidelines are effectively communicated and upheld across the organisation.
Key responsibilities include performing Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), managing privacy incidents, coordinating responses to data subject rights requests, and supporting the rollout of privacy management software. Acting as a business partner to assigned divisions, you’ll also contribute to awareness campaigns and training, helping embed a strong culture of data protection throughout OUP. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a globally respected publishing organisation.
We operate a hybrid working policy that requires a minimum of 2 days per week in the Oxford office.
About You
To be successful in this role, you will ideally have:
Essential:
- Knowledge and understanding of data privacy laws, regulations and standards globally with a strong emphasis on the UK and Europe.
- Knowledge of business process documentation, developing data protection compliance policies and defining best practice.
- Ability to work with a range of business stakeholders at all levels to understand and articulate their activities in line with defined standards.
- Good verbal and written communication skills in English.
- Professional data privacy certifications (e.g. CIPP/E).
Desirable:
- Experience working with process analysis and documentation in a privacy programme or project environment.
- Experience of establishing an effective data privacy programme in a complex geographical / functional matrix organization.
Benefits
We care about work/life balance here at OUP. With this in mind we offer 25 days’ holiday that rises with service, plus bank holidays and Christmas closure (3-days) and a 35-hour working week. We are open to discussing flexibility in respect to working patterns, dependent on role. We also have a great variety of active employee networks and societies.
We help make your money go further by contributing to your pension up to 12%, offering loans and savings schemes through our partnership with Salary Finance, in addition to travel to work schemes and access to a wide range of local discounts.
This role comes with the added benefit of a discretionary annual payment.
