Robert Half is recruiting a Privacy & Compliance Associate for a well-established business in Manchester.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong data protection and privacy background who is looking to broaden their experience across wider compliance activities, with a clear opportunity for progression within the compliance function.

The Role

You'll join a compliance team where privacy and data protection form a key part of the role, alongside wider regulatory and operational compliance responsibilities.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Acting as a key point of contact for privacy and data protection matters, including GDPR-related queries
  • Supporting privacy compliance activities, documentation, and governance processes
  • Reviewing and monitoring compliance across purchasing and operational processes
  • Supporting counter-fraud activities through detection, investigation, and advisory work
  • Assisting with contract reviews and customer communications
  • Supporting consumer protection requirements and complaints handling processes
  • Working collaboratively with internal stakeholders to improve compliance practices

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
