Are you a senior privacy manager ready to drive privacy best practices across a global bank?
£70-90k salary with bonus, pension, private health and much more.
Hybrid, 3 days in Glasgow
Shape strategy and policy, working as a trusted advisor across the business, rather than with front line compliance. Take the lead on strategy, oversight, and risk – working across legal, tech, and compliance to embed strong privacy outcomes across the group.
This role is a key hire, with broad scope to design and improve the privacy framework across an enterprise-scale environment.
What you’ll do:
5. Define and lead the implementation of enterprise-wide data privacy strategy
• Build and maintain privacy governance frameworks that meet UK and global regulatory standards
• Oversee privacy risk assessments, incident response plans, and breach investigations
• Partner with leadership across business units to drive cultural and operational change
• Deliver privacy training and awareness programmes across functions
• Strengthen the privacy programme through continuous improvement and targeted change
What you’ll bring:
6. Senior experience leading privacy in a large, regulated business
• Strong working knowledge of GDPR, CCPA and broader global privacy laws
• Confidence designing policies, frameworks, and controls from the ground up
• Leadership presence – able to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels
• Experience in financial services or another highly regulated sector
• Strategic thinking with hands-on ability to get things done
You’ll be part of a leadership team that values integrity, collaboration, and proactive risk management. If you’re ready to take the reins and help a major institution lead on privacy, we’d like to hear from you.
