The successful candidates will operate at a senior level, partnering with product, engineering, architecture and business stakeholders to embed privacy-by-design principles across complex digital services and data-driven initiatives.

- Embed Privacy by Design principles into product development, technology delivery and operational processes.
- Work closely with developers, software engineers, architects and delivery teams to ensure privacy requirements are understood and implemented effectively.

- Support data sharing initiatives and ensure appropriate governance controls are in place.
- Engage confidently with senior leaders and stakeholders, presenting recommendations and risk positions clearly.
