About the company & role
A leading name in the luxury hospitality sector is seeking a Privacy Counsel / Senior Privacy Manager to join their Legal & Corporate Integrity function and play a key role in shaping and developing their global data privacy programme.
Reporting into the Head of Compliance and working closely with Legal, Compliance, IT, IT Security, Procurement, HR, Marketing and Digital teams, this role will provide practical privacy guidance across a diverse international business.
The role offers broad international exposure, supporting the implementation of privacy standards across a portfolio. Based from the global headquarters in central London, this is a hands-on role with genuine responsibility and scope to shape how privacy is managed across the business. It would suit a lawyer looking for a role with ownership and development opportunities, or an experienced privacy specialist seeking their next position.
What’s on offer?
This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established, consumer-facing business where privacy sits at the intersection of legal, technology and commercial activity. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help build and enhance a global privacy programme, working closely with senior stakeholders and playing a key role in embedding privacy into business operations and new initiatives.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role will provide exposure to a wide range of interesting and evolving privacy issues, including AI governance, international data transfers, data mapping, DPIAs, third-party risk, data retention, data breaches and data subject rights. There will also be an opportunity to support the implementation and development of OneTrust and contribute to wider data and AI governance initiatives.
Alongside a competitive base salary, the total compensation package includes:
- Bonus
- Private healthcare
- Life insurance
- 25 days’ annual leave
- Enhanced pension contributions (7% employer / 2% employee)
One particularly notable benefit is the company’s programme of complimentary stays, experiences, and significant discounts on luxury holidays, an offering that extends to family and friends and is highly valued across the organisation.
About you
To be successful in this role, you will have strong practical experience in data privacy, with a good understanding of UK and EU GDPR and experience supporting or implementing privacy compliance programmes. You may be a qualified solicitor with a background in privacy law, or a privacy professional with significant hands-on experience and a recognised privacy qualification such as CIPP/E or CIPM.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You will be comfortable working across a broad range of privacy matters, including data mapping, DPIAs, data processing agreements, international data transfers, data subject rights and data breach management. Experience with OneTrust would be beneficial, although is not essential.
The role will require regular interaction with stakeholders across the business, so strong organisational, communication and stakeholder management skills will be important. You will need to be able to translate privacy requirements into practical advice, balancing legal and regulatory obligations with operational and commercial considerations.
For guidance purposes only, you’re likely to have strong experience gained in privacy, data protection or a closely related area. Experience within hospitality or the luxury sector is not required; the role will be well suited to someone who enjoys working in a varied, international environment and wants the opportunity to take genuine ownership of a global privacy programme.
