Summary of the role
We are currently partnered with a Financial Services organisation who are recruiting for a Senior Data Protection Specialist Controlle r to join them on a Fixed Term Contract basis.

It will be split 50/50 between two different functions. The first being the Support Controller Team, which has a focus on the internal GDPR framework, and the second being the Migration Team who work with the on-boarding of new clients and the potential DP risks.
This is a short-term replacement, so will initially be on a 6-month FTC with potential for the role to be extended.
