Own and manage incoming compliance and audit queries, coordinating responses to internal and external audits. Work cross-functionally with Legal, People, IT, Retail, Sourcing, and Operations teams to gather evidence and deliver responses accurately and on time.


Establish and manage the Data Protection Mailbox, clearing existing backlogs, setting up an efficient triage and escalation process, and tracking all activity for audit-readiness.


Learn and document existing business processes from internal stakeholders, identifying gaps and opportunities for improvement. Translate these into practical, privacy-aligned procedures that are clear, repeatable, and easy to follow.


Lead the delivery of key compliance activities, including Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), data subject access requests (DSARs), vendor and third-party reviews, and data mapping updates. Maintain records such as ROPA, asset registers, and audit trails to evidence compliance.
