Alfa is looking to recruit a Senior Data Privacy Analyst to join our Information Security team. Alfa Systems sits at the heart of some of the world's largest asset finance companies, across 26 countries which means Data Privacy here isn't theoretical, it's live, global and genuinely varied. You'll start by getting deep into Alfa's obligations as a Controller, then grow into a dual-focus role spanning Data Privacy where Alfa acts as both Controller and Processor and Information Security. If you're the type who enjoys researching unfamiliar territory and turning it into practical guidance for a whole organisation, this is built for you.

What we'll do together
You'll manage the day-to-day Data Privacy programme, drafting and reviewing policies and documents, conducting supplier and Data Processing Agreement/Addendum (DPA) reviews, and running Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs).
You'll compile Records of Processing Activities, help draft International Data Transfers under UK and EU GDPR, and play a real part in promoting a positive Data Privacy culture across Alfa.
As Alfa or our clients move into new geographical jurisdictions, you'll research and share findings with the wider Data Protection team. You'll compile audit schedules across internal, external and client-led activity, participate in and eventually lead, audit sessions, record findings and track remediation. You'll perform Data Privacy risk assessments in line with Alfa's risk methodology, monitor risks arising from audit activity, and support internal and client audit requests with solid evidence collation.

How we'll work together
You'll report into the Data Protection Officer, working closely with colleagues across Information Security, legal and client-facing teams as you build out a genuinely cross-functional view of privacy and security.

The tools we'll use
UK and EU GDPR frameworks, DPIAs, DPAs and Records of Processing Activities will be part of your everyday toolkit, alongside Alfa's risk assessment and treatment methodology and the audit processes that keep our clients confident in how we handle their data.

What you'll bring to the team
 

• A strong academic record to degree level.

• The ability to manage your own workload and hit deadlines without close supervision.

• You'll hold IAPP CIPP/E and CIPM certifications (or have equivalent demonstrable experience), with solid knowledge of UK and EU GDPR.

• 4 years' prior Data Privacy experience. 

• IAPP CIPP/US or working knowledge of Data Privacy legislation outside Europe will give you a head start, as will prior experience consulting across a range of clients or industries, but neither is a dealbreaker.

What we'll do for you

• Flexible hybrid or remote working

• 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays and flexible cultural days

• Pension contribution match up to 6%

• Your choice of a Windows or Mac laptop

• Private health insurance and access to a private GP

• Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave with family-friendly policies

• Income protection

• Life, disability and worldwide travel insurance

• Interest-free loans of up to £10,000 after probation

• Wellhub access to gyms, classes and wellbeing apps

• Support pursuing membership of professional bodies

• 5 days per year for conferences or training

• 3 paid days of volunteering per year
