Independent Commissioner
Location: London
Approximately 7-10 days p/a
Salary: £6,500 p/a plus reasonable expenses
Closing Date: Friday 9th October
The Data & Marketing Commission Ltd (DMC) is the body which oversees and enforces the Data & Marketing Association (DMA)’s Code. The Code and DMC are there to give effective protection to recipients, users and practitioners of the data driven marketing sector. It aims to ensure companies observe the highest standards of integrity and trade fairly with their customers and with each other. This is achieved by investigating complaints and identifying trends in data driven marketing that might raise issues for consumers and the sector.
The DMC are looking to appoint a new Independent Commissioner as the current incumbent’s term is due to expire at the end of December. The term would be for three years, renewable once. Historically the DMC has adjudicated against complaints about DMA members only but it hopes to become an independent Monitoring Body accredited by the Information Commissioners’ Office following approval of an industry GDPR Code. The DMC also has a further extended remit in support of the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) with complaints by consumers in relation to data and in particular Legitimate Interest and related matters.
