I’m working with a high-growth, international organisation in the education sector to appoint a Head of Legal & Data Protection Officer.
This is a rare opportunity to combine global data protection leadership with a broad, commercially focused legal role in a fast-scaling, multi-jurisdictional business.
The role
• Acting as Global DPO across multiple jurisdictions
• Leading on GDPR, DSARs, breach management, and scalable compliance frameworks
• Working closely with the Group GC on a wide range of legal and strategic matters
• Supporting an acquisitive, international business across diverse legal issues
What they’re looking for
• Qualified lawyer with strong data protection expertise
• Experience operating across multiple jurisdictions
• Commercial, pragmatic, and comfortable advising beyond a pure DPO remit
• Someone who enjoys building and improving frameworks in a growing business
Why consider it?
• Broad, high-impact role with real autonomy
• Direct exposure to senior stakeholders globally
• Opportunity to shape legal and data protection frameworks at scale
• International scope and long-term growth potential
