The Information Compliance Team are looking for an organised, proactive, and enthusiastic Information Compliance Officer to join our friendly and collaborative team, which sits within the wider Legal and Compliance Services department.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the team at a time when the regulatory landscape is evolving, bringing new opportunities to strengthen and develop the University's established approach to information governance, data protection, and effective records management.
