Data Protection Administrator

Job Title: Data Protection Administrator
Contract: 6 months
Location: Fully Remote (occasional on-site - once per quarter)

Overview
We're supporting a well-established organisation looking to bring in a hands-on Data Protection Administrator to support day-to-day operational activity within their privacy function.

This is not a strategic or advisory role - they need someone who can roll their sleeves up and manage the operational workload, particularly around DSARs and data protection admin.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and process Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) end-to-end
• Handle data protection inbox queries, ensuring timely responses and tracking
• Collate, review and prepare data for disclosure (including redaction where required)
• Maintain accurate logs of requests in line with compliance requirements
• Support day-to-day data protection admin across the wider team
• Escalate complex or high-risk queries where needed

What They're Looking For

• 1-2 years experience in a data protection/privacy/compliance support role
• Strong experience handling DSARs or similar rights requests
• Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple requests and deadlines
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, operational environment
• Strong attention to detail
• Experience with Microsoft Purview/eDiscovery tools (nice to have)

Team Setup

• Small, collaborative team (mix of senior, mid-level and contractor support)
• Very much a coalface role - ideal for someone who enjoys being hands-on

Additional Info

• Quick turnaround role - looking for someone who can hit the ground running
• Great opportunity to gain solid experience within a busy data protection function
