Job Overview

What is a Data Protection Technical Lead?

The Data Protection Technical Lead is a hands-on technical role responsible for ensuring that customer, employee, and user data is properly identified, secured, monitored, and protected across enterprise systems.

This role bridges the gap between Cyber Security, Technology, Legal, and Privacy, ensuring that data protection is embedded into systems and workflows—not just documented in policies. The position reports directly to the Data Protection Officer (DPO) and works closely with cross-functional teams across Technology, Cyber Security, Digital Platforms, Product, Legal, and Compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify where customer and user data resides across databases, applications, cloud platforms, and system integrations.

• Analyze and document data flows between systems, including APIs, batch processes, file transfers, and internal integrations.

• Validate and monitor technical controls related to:

  • User access and permissions

  • Data movement and sharing

  • Data retention, archival, and deletion

• Review system logs and outputs to detect unauthorized or unusual data access.

• Support the implementation and technical enforcement of Consent Management Systems (CMS) to ensure customer preferences are respected.

• Act as a technical administrator for Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) and related tools.

• Support security and privacy incidents by identifying impacted systems and extracting logs or technical evidence.

• Prepare audit-ready technical evidence, including logs, screenshots, and reports.

• Maintain up-to-date technical documentation such as data flow diagrams and control documentation.

• Operate within defined regulatory requirements with limited direct regulator interaction.

Key Deliverables

• End-to-end visibility of customer data locations and data flows across systems.

• Evidence demonstrating effective access controls, logging, retention, deletion, and consent enforcement.

• Technical reports and logs supporting audits, investigations, and risk assessments.

• Updated system and data flow documentation.

• Operational ownership of Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs).

• Evaluation and shortlisting of suitable Consent Management Platforms (CMPs).

• Coordination of technical demos and reviews for consent solutions.

• Support in procurement, selection, implementation, and ongoing management of the chosen consent management platform.

Requirements

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cyber Security, or a related technical field.

• 3–6 years of experience in one or more of the following areas:

  • Cyber Security

  • Cloud Infrastructure

  • Data Engineering

  • Identity & Access Management (IAM), SOC, or security tooling

• Prior experience in privacy or data protection roles is preferred but not mandatory. Strong technical fundamentals are essential.

Technical Skills

• Strong understanding of databases (SQL / NoSQL), APIs, and system integrations.

• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

• Familiarity with privacy management tools is highly advantageous.

• Exposure to DLP, DSPM, or similar privacy and data security tools is a plus.

Nice to Have (Learnable on the Job)

• Exposure to consent management platforms (e.g., OneTrust, TrustArc, Securiti).

• Understanding of data protection principles and consent enforcement mechanisms.

• Experience working in regulated, enterprise-scale, or complex environments.

Soft Skills

• Strong attention to detail with a practical, problem-solving mindset.

• Comfortable working against defined requirements and technical standards.

• Excellent documentation and evidence-building skills.

• Ability to collaborate effectively with multiple technical and business teams.
