Salary: £50,650.00 - £66,500.00
Our mission is to deliver clean, affordable energy for all. Our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) provides a British solution to the global energy challenge. We are progressing towards becoming a world leader in SMR technology and one of the UK’s most significant green export capabilities.
Our Information Management team plays a vital role in building a trusted, compliant, and resilient digital environment. We enable confident decision-making across the organisation by creating robust information governance and privacy processes that support innovation, protect individuals, and ensure our business continues to scale safely and responsibly.
We’re looking for a Senior Privacy Analyst to join our Information Management team, reporting directly to our Head of Information Management and external Data Protection Officer. This is a key role leading the day-to-day operation of our privacy programme—shaping processes, supporting colleagues, and strengthening our risk-based privacy controls as we grow in the UK and internationally.
We’ll need you to:
- Lead the day-to-day operation of core privacy processes, including managing all Data Subject Requests.
- Own and maintain our Record of Processing Activities and drive updates across the organisation.
- Establish and operationalise the DPIA process, ensuring privacy is embedded in projects.
- Act as the first point of contact for privacy queries and support data breach responses.

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

- We may ask you about your experience designing or operating privacy processes within a wider organisation.
Beneficial (not essential): IAPP qualifications such as CIPP/E, CIPM or CIPT.
