Data Privacy & Protection Recruitment

Data protection and privacy professionals navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape — GDPR, UK GDPR, AI Act, and cross-jurisdictional transfer mechanisms. We recruit from technical privacy engineers to strategic DPOs across all sectors.

The market

Privacy has evolved from a legal and compliance function into a technical discipline. The emergence of AI-driven data processing, the proliferation of SaaS tools, and the ICO's increasingly active enforcement posture are all requiring organisations to invest in privacy expertise with both regulatory knowledge and technical capability. The combination of legal understanding, technical depth, and business communication skill makes senior privacy professionals genuinely hard to find.

Roles we recruit

• Data Protection Officer (DPO)
• Privacy Engineer
• GDPR Consultant
• Data Protection Manager
• Privacy Programme Lead
• Privacy Counsel
• AI Privacy Specialist
• Data Governance Manager

Experience and skills

Privacy professionals develop from legal, compliance, or IT security backgrounds. Senior practitioners typically hold CIPP/E, CIPM, or both, alongside deep knowledge of the UK/EU GDPR frameworks and at least one other jurisdiction (US, APAC). The most effective DPOs and privacy leads combine regulatory expertise with the ability to advise on technical implementations — data minimisation architecture, consent management platforms, PETs.

• CIPP/E or CIPM (IAPP)
• UK GDPR / EU GDPR
• Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA)
• Consent Management Platforms
• International Data Transfers (SCCs, BCRs)
• AI Act & Data Governance
• Records of Processing Activities (RoPA)
