Senior Data Protection Officer
Investment Management | London | Hybrid
An established investment management firm is hiring a Data Protection Officer to own and drive its data protection agenda.
This is not a maintenance role. You'll be taking the firm forward — writing and implementing the policies and procedures, being the point of contact with the ICO, and setting the standard for how the business handles personal data. You'll have the ear of directors and senior management, and the mandate to challenge them when it matters.
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.
What you'll be doing

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Owning the DSAR process end to end — completing them on time, and having the judgement and confidence to challenge what should and shouldn't be disclosed.
- Building out policies, procedures, and training that people actually use.
- Acting as the firm's voice with the ICO.
- Staying ahead of what's coming, particularly around AI: where it creates exposure, what it means for personal data and systems, and how the firm should be governing it.
What we're looking for
- Someone already doing this job somewhere else, who wants a bigger canvas.
- You'll know UK GDPR and the DPA 2018 properly rather than theoretically.
- Be comfortable holding your ground with senior stakeholders.
- Have a professional network you can draw on to bring genuine best practice back into the business.
- CIPP/E, CIPM, or the BCS Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection would be welcome.
- Financial services or another regulated environment is an advantage, though the right person from an adjacent sector will be considered.
