This Newcastle Upon Tyne based manufacturing business with a global presence, is looking to recruit a Head of Compliance and Data Protection Officer. A great opportunity to lead on corporate compliance with a major household name brand.
In this exciting new role, you will be working across all things compliance including taking on the role of the DPO, and so strong, broad compliance experience is a must, as is solid exposure to data protection matters. Day-to-day you will be involved in the development and delivery of compliance training across the business, horizon scanning on regulatory requirements and ensuring compliance with mandatory obligations across a wide range of areas. You will also have responsibility for a small team and the ideal candidate will have management experience or will be keen to make a step up into a management position.
