About the job
Help shape privacy governance for a global AI compute business with complex data protection needs.
Graphcore is looking for a Data Protection Analyst to support our global data protection programme. You will help keep our privacy practices robust, practical and aligned with evolving laws.
This role matters because privacy touches every part of how Graphcore works. You will help teams understand risk, make better decisions and respond with confidence.
You will maintain core privacy governance, support assessments, manage data subject requests and help investigate incidents. You will also deliver training, produce metrics and track legislative change across multiple jurisdictions.
It is a rare chance to build breadth across privacy, compliance, technology and operational risk. Your work will strengthen trust across Graphcore and beyond.
The team and culture
You will sit within Quality and Compliance, working closely with the teams that create, operate and support Graphcore’s business. Expect regular contact with engineering, operations, IT, facilities and corporate functions.
Work happens through evidence, clear ownership and timely decisions. You will keep governance moving, flag risks early and help teams act within deadlines.
We value people who take responsibility and make privacy easier to understand. You will have space to speak up, challenge assumptions and improve how data protection works.
