Data Protection Manager
About the Role
As a Data Protection Manager, you’ll play a key role in protecting our members, colleagues, and communities by ensuring Nationwide manages personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
You’ll provide expert data protection advice across change initiatives and day-to-day activity, review high-risk privacy impact assessments, and help embed strong privacy standards across the organisation. Working closely with colleagues across Nationwide, you’ll help maintain trust with our members and regulators while supporting Nationwide’s purpose as a member-owned mutual.
About the Team
This role sits within Nationwide’s Data Protection Office, part of our wider risk and compliance environment. The team supports Nationwide to meet its obligations under the UK GDPR and related data protection laws through advice, assurance, training, and oversight of privacy risks.
