- Support the development and implementation of data governance frameworks and policies.
- Provide legal guidance on AI, emerging technologies and data-driven initiatives.
- Advise on international data transfers, data incidents and associated regulatory obligations.
- Help stakeholders navigate complex legal questions concerning the management and use of data.
About you
- Qualified lawyer with significant experience in data protection and broader data law.
- Strong understanding of UK GDPR and the wider data regulatory landscape.
- Experience advising on data governance, information security and data management issues.
- Knowledge of, or a strong interest in, AI and emerging technologies.
- Comfortable working with technical stakeholders and translating complex legal requirements into practical advice.
- Strong communication, judgement and stakeholder-management skills.
