Background

Candidates with experience working on large transformation projects or having worked within digital/technical areas. This is a very technical role working with developers and data architects, such that a lack of exposure in this area would ultimately cause them delays in hitting the ground running We are looking for individuals who can work confidently with ambiguity. This is an enabling function, such that managing risk requires thinking outside of the box. Candidates should show flexibility with their solutions to ensure delivery, this is an important part of the role.

Note

Experience that is too heavily security-focussed, the team is not looking for security/information assurance experts. Information security experience alongside the data protection experience is absolutely fine, however this should not be the candidates’ predominant or sole experience
