Are you someone who thrives on solving complex problems, guiding others through tricky regulations, and making sure sensitive data is handled the right way? If that sounds like you, this role could be the perfect next step in your career.

We're looking for a Regulatory Compliance Officer  to join a team that deals with some of the most interesting – and sometimes challenging – data protection and information rights issues out there. You’ll play a key role in helping colleagues and stakeholders navigate legislation like FOI, GDPR , and the Data Protection Act , all in an environment where security and precision really matter.

Regulatory Compliance Officer Experience, Qualifications and Attributes:

• Strong experience with information rights legislation – and ideally, a practitioner-level certificate in data protection or information governance.
• People skills - You’ll need to explain complex rules in a way that makes sense, and know how to build trust with stakeholders from all kinds of backgrounds
• An interest in central government or public sector work would be beneficial but most of all, we’re after someone who’s confident, adaptable, and cares about getting things right.

Regulatory Compliance Officer  Benefits:

• You’ll be part of a supportive, down-to-earth team that shares knowledge, celebrates wins, and helps each other grow.
• London location allowance
• Civil Service Pension
• Generous annual leave
• Access to training and development
• Hybrid working options for better work/life balance
• You'll be part of a workplace that genuinely values diversity, inclusion , and wellbeing – because when you’re supported, you can do your best work!
