Data Protection Officer (DPO) – Multiverse (Exclusive Search)
Multiverse is building the upskilling platform for AI and tech adoption — partnering with 1,500+ organisations and helping customers drive measurable ROI through workforce capability.
As the business continues to scale, they’re hiring a Data Protection Officer to help shape what “modern privacy” looks like inside a genuinely AI-first company.
This is not a role that’s obsessed with where you worked last, whether you’re legally-qualified, or how traditional your CV looks.
It is a role for someone commercially minded, high-energy, and excited to sit close to the product and technology — taking an already strong privacy function, with a big opportunity to evolve and reimagine it.
The opportunity
You’ll inherit a small high function team and have the autonomy to shape the privacy & AI Governance roadmap for a fast-scaling global business.
You’ll be trusted to balance pace and practicality: enabling growth, while building a privacy programme that holds up with customers, regulators, and internal stakeholders.
What you’ll be doing
* Owning and rolling out a global privacy framework, embedded across the organisation
* Working closely with Product, Engineering and Sales, so privacy supports progress rather than slowing it down
* Leading DPIAs across new and emerging AI features
* Managing international data transfers, and keeping the approach scalable as the product evolves
* Supporting operational privacy work including DSARs and security incidents
* Assessing vendors to strengthen ongoing compliance and manage supply chain risk
* Contributing to ISO 27001 recertification work
* Supporting cross-functional projects where data, risk and product delivery collide
What Multiverse is looking for
* Commercial judgement — someone who can explain the “why” internally and the “how” externally
* Someone who’s genuinely interested in AI and how LLMs and modern data processing can be done responsibly
* A builder: comfortable moving from strategy into execution, fast
* Confident making decisions, setting direction, and helping others move fast without taking shortcuts
